The guide compiles simple and reliable methods for sampling and testing basic water quality parameters (temperature, flow, pH, total hardness, ions) in springs and fountains. It aims to provide local communities with the necessary knowledge and practical tools to actively contribute to the monitoring and protection of this valuable natural resource.
