WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT BY BIOLOGICAL MEANS: BIOMONITORING

DR. BHAVNA DAWAR

Abstract

A common method for evaluating the effects of pollution releases on the environment is "biological monitoring." It is necessary to assess the process in terms of false positives and false negatives. A false positive is a signal that, in reality, there hasn't been an escalation above previously set quality control parameters. An indicator that conditions are acceptable when they are not is known as a false negative. Since statistics can expressly express confidence in the outcomes of biological monitoring, they should be used more frequently in this context. Professional judgment on whether to take immediate action or wait for more corroborating facts will be more objective and dependable with suitable statistical evaluation of the data. To maximize.
