Fluoride is added to public water supplies in some countries to help reduce tooth decay. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant to remove pathogens in the water.

There are a number of key parameters that must be taken into account when assessing the quality and safety of drinking water intended for human consumption. Health authorities advise that microbiological testing should be performed every 12 months on private wells and chemical profiling every three years to mitigate the use of contaminated waters and causing damage to humans, soil and/or its distribution network. This analysis should consider parameters such as turbidity, sediment, odour, pH, alkalinity, dissolved solids, nitrates, iron, manganese, conductivity, hardness, and identification of the presence of bacterial ingress.
