Assessment of River Water Quality by Test Filters in the View of Drinking Water Catchment

In the years 1985-1987, test filters have been used to determine the DOC- and AOX-concentrations and the loads of water-works-relevant and drinking-water-relevant organic constituents in the rivers Rhine and Ruhr. The constituents determined by AOX have been found to be not drinking-water-relevant....

Summary:In the years 1985-1987, test filters have been used to determine the DOC- and AOX-concentrations and the loads of water-works-relevant and drinking-water-relevant organic constituents in the rivers Rhine and Ruhr. The constituents determined by AOX have been found to be not drinking-water-relevant. The input of water-works-relevant DOC and AOX mainly could be put down to diffuse sources.
