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)

Data Location

Comments

It is unknown if such data exists in Saudi. Saudi has a Ministry for Water and Electricity ( https://www.mowe.gov.sa/ ) who could be responsible for this matter, but no information in regard to water pollution could be found on its website.
