posted on 2025-02-10, 10:16 authored by Rod ShawRod ShawWhen visiting water-supply schemes, it is usually possible to spot any faults and deficiencies that could lead to the pollution of potable water. Sanitary surveying is an inspection technique that records such visible problems, enabling fieldworkers to assess the likely quality of the water, relative to other sources.
This Technical Brief describes sanitary surveying and its process.
