Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the water column, including nutrients, sediment and chlorophyll a.

The quality of water determined by a series of standard parameters-turbidity, temperature, bacterial count, pH, and dissolved oxygen.

The degree to which water contains the desired level of mineral hardness, dissolved oxygen and absence of any chemical contaminants.

Water quality refers to the amount of nutrients, particles and chemicals contained in the water.

Most generally described as the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of water.

The chemical, physical and biological properties of water as they affect the uses of water by man and nature.

The biological, chemical, and physical conditions of a waterbody. It is a measure of a waterbody's ability to support beneficial uses.

a measure of the purity of water and its ability to support life, assessed with respect to its physical, chemical and biological factors.

This is defined by the level of dissolved salts and/or other contaminants. Acceptability may vary with the intended use, i.e. drinking-water requires higher-quality water than irrigation.

The value or usefulness of water, determined by the combined effects of its physical attributes and its chemical constituents, and varying from user to user.

the characteristic of water that represents the level of unsuitability

the purity of the water.

The chemical, physical, biological, and radiological condition of a surface or ground water body.

The chemical, physical and biological condition of water related to beneficial use.

The quality of water as determined by its chemical and bacterial composition. To ensure the safety of drinking water in Canada, maximum allowable limits exist for all potentially harmful contaminants.

The condition of water for use in terms of its chemical, physical, and biological.

A description of the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of water for a particular purpose.

A term used to describe the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water with respect to its suitability for a particular use.

Refers to a set of chemical, physical, or biological characteristics that describe the condition of a river, stream, or lake. The quality of water determines which beneficial uses it can support. Different instream conditions or levels of water quality are needed to support different beneficial uses.

The characteristics of water in regard to its physical, chemical and biological properties.

the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water

Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water and how they relate to it for a particular use.

Water may account for as much as 90-99% of the metal working fluid mix. Its quality varies with the source. It may or may not contain dissolved minerals, organic matter, and microorganisms which can cause deterioration of the metal working fluid performance. Measurement of the following will help to estimate the effect of water on a metal working fluid mix.

Water quality is the chemical and physical characterization of water. The primary bases for such characterization are parameters which relate to potability, safety of human contact and for health of ecosystems. The vast majority of surface water on the planet is neither potable nor toxic.
