The chapter discusses water quality parameters, focusing on classifications of pollutants and their impacts on environmental health. It highlights the importance of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS), along with Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) as metrics for assessing water quality. The implications of organic loads from both natural and anthropogenic sources on water systems are also explored.
