PART 2 N.I.Minimum sampling and analysis frequencies
1 A supply zone is a geographically defined area within which water intended for human consumption comes from one or more sources and within which water quality may be considered as being approximately uniform. | |
2 The volumes are calculated as averages taken over a calendar year. | |
3 As far as possible, the number of samples should be distributed equally in time and location. | |
