    5. Conclusion

    Water testing is based solely on risk calculation. This will determine the frequency of analyses: bacteriological analyses will be carried out more frequently. In addition, knowledge of a certain number of water parameters enables us to better identify microbiological problems:

    • pH ;

    • turbidity ;

    • forms of nitrogen ;

    • oxidizability ;

    • dissolved oxygen ;

    • bactericidal agent content.

    When monitoring medium- and long-term risks, mainly physicochemical, the frequency of analyses will generally be lower.

    In all cases, the analysis result can only be guaranteed if the entire analytical chain has...
