Water quality is a measuring aspect which is related to its need or purpose of any biotic species or any human being. This paper presents an overview on objectives, monitoring and sampling methods, and chemical analysis of water quality assessment which has been presented by different authors. To check the water quality, there are different standards which have been set by different agencies. Impact on ecosystems, health of biotic species and drinking water are major aspects which are taken into account with water standardization.References
