Domestic water systems quality refers to the chemical, physical, biological, and radiological characteristics of water. It is a measure of the condition of water relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species and or to any human need or purpose. The most common standards used to assess water quality relate to health of ecosystems, safety of human contact, and drinking water.
