Proceedings of the water quality standards. The goal of this conference is to share experiences and visions, to discuss and debate the water quality standards framework and decide what should be accomplished in this last decade as we get ready to enter the 21st century. What should be the priorities, what tools do decision makers need, when should tasks be accomplished and what are the resource implications. All these subjects and other related sectors are discussed in these proceedings.

This volume describes the methods used in the surveillance of drinking water quality in the light of the special problems of small-community supplies, particularly in developing countries, and outlines the strategies necessary to ensure that surveillance is effective.
