About
Data, measured at the water source, on the quality of water is essential for both the delivery of services and the prevention of diseases. In order to satisfy the minimum requirements for this category, data should be available on level of the following chemicals by water source and be updated at least weekly:
- fecal coliform
- arsenic
- fluoride levels
- nitrates
- TDS (Total dissolved solids)

I had two issues in my search for this data. 1. Water quality is a regional, not federal, matter. The global census prevents me to link to more than one source for the data, which is in this case hard to do.
Data is very dispersed. The Walloon region has a good tool to search the quality of potable water in your street, with levels of hardness and chemicals. Flanders also has a seperate webpage with data on swimming water quality. In lakes, swimming pools and the sea. They also have extensive reports and different datasets on water quality of measuring on the OpenDataForum. So although a lot is going on water quality data in our regional governments, there is no easy way of measuring this on a national scale. |

It appears that there is no national aggregation of this data, except at a high level (http://www.nwc.gov.au/nwi/biennial-assessments), but individual water authorities around the country, of which there are many, publish water quality data in their annual reports. There are national guidelines and requirements that all water authorities publish data on drinking water quality, however all this data with very few exceptions was only available in PDF reports, and nowhere centrally discoverable.

In Finland local bodies are responsible for water quality testing. Every year the data is sent to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health which then compiles it and sends it to the EU. http://www.samk.fi/download/27214_Summary.pdf These reports don't seem to be public, but robust data collection seems to be happening as Finland is renown for high water quality standards. They also measure radioactivity of water. http://www.stuk.fi/web/en/topics/food-and-drinking-water/radioactivity-in-drinking-water |

In Paraguay DIGESA 1 (General Direction of Environmental Sanitation, dependent of the Ministry of Public Health and Welfare) and SENASA 2 (Servicio Nacional de Saneamiento Ambiental or National Environmental Sanitation Service) are the responsible for measuring water quality for all types of water, superficial and underground. Most drinking water (80%) in Paraguay comes from groundwater. No public information is available on water quality measurements are publicly available, an after consultation public officials stated that the measurements are performed periodically, yearly or upon request. The above mentioned information does not comply with the management and weakly publication of water quality measurements. References: |

The Federal Ministry of Water Resources should have been the agency responsible for publishing water quality in the control, but it has not yet been available. While not sure if this is done by paper works, it is still far fetched as no reports has been published on water quality in Nigeria. An alternative government portal that should have addressed water quality indicators in the country could have been the Nigeria Millennium Development Goals Information System but water quality described in their data only states physical structures of water source and not chemical components. |

Kindly note that there is a high possibility that Myanmar government did not update each of these ministries websites so there is an error while trying to gain access to these websites. |
