Water Quality Analysis – Ensuring Environmental Safety and Human Health
Water quality analysis is an essential step in protecting the environment and ensuring safe human, agricultural, and industrial use. This process aims to examine water's physical, chemical, and biological properties, ensuring it is free of pollutants or harmful elements that may affect public health or ecosystems.
At Al-Maqayis Company, we provide integrated water sample analysis services using precise equipment and certified standards to determine salinity, pH, turbidity, organic matter, heavy metals, and microbes. This service includes drinking water, groundwater, wastewater, and industrial water.
We provide certified reports that help government and private entities make sound decisions, address pollution, and comply with national and international environmental regulations.

Potential sources of water pollution
- industrial wasteSuch as oils, heavy metals, and chemicals resulting from manufacturing processes.
- untreated sewageWastewater seepage into groundwater or surface water.
- agricultural activitiesThe use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides leads to the leakage of nitrates and toxic substances.
- fuel and oil leaksFrom gas stations or storage sites.
- household wasteWhich are thrown randomly or reach water sources indirectly.
- Medical and chemical wasteResulting from hospitals or laboratories if not treated properly.
- acid rainResulting from air pollution that affects the quality of surface water.
- Mining and quarrying activitiesCauses contamination with metals and suspended matter.
- Drainage water from construction sitesLoaded with sediments and chemicals.
- marine pollutantsSuch as industrial cooling water that is discharged into the sea without treatment.
The importance of water quality analysis for various sectors
Water quality analysis is an essential component of protecting public health and ensuring operational safety in many sectors.
- In the industrial sectorThe analysis contributes to preventing equipment corrosion and achieving environmental compliance by monitoring the components of water used in manufacturing or cooling.
- As for the agricultural sectorIt determines the suitability of water for irrigation and its impact on crops and soil quality, which directly impacts agricultural production.
- For the health sector and hospitalsWater testing is essential to ensure clean water is used for cleaning, sterilization, and operating rooms, and to protect patients from bacteria and contaminants.
- Commercial sectors and residential facilities also depend on it.This analysis is used to ensure the suitability of drinking water for daily use.
Water quality analysis supports all these entities in making informed decisions, detecting contamination early, and achieving the highest levels of safety and environmental compliance.
How often should the water be tested?
At least once every 3 to 6 months, or as required by the regulatory authority.
Regular check-up every 6 months – with cleaning at least once a year.
Depending on the nature of the activity: it may be monthly, quarterly, or at each new production cycle.
Monthly inspection or as required by environmental compliance and operating licenses.
