Kingdom of Cambodia: Drinking Water Quality Standards
Drinking Water Quality Standards
Preface
The Task Force on Drinking Water Quality Standards prepared these standards with guidance from the World Health Organization and the Advisory Panel of specialists. The standards were based on the latest WHO drinking water quality guidelines (2003) and those of other countries with particular adaptation to the water quality problems in Cambodia. Several local and international agencies provided guidance and data on the important parameters and frequency to be monitored. The DWS was reviewed through an inter-ministerial and inter-agency consultation among the sectors from water authorities, rural development, health, environment, water resources, private, academe, and NGO last June 12-13, 2003. A seminar-workshop to initiate the process of developing drinking water standards was also held on June 24-25, 2002.
