Why need to measure water color ?
About drinking water, color is an important measurement for aesthetic purposes affecting the appearance and taste of the water. Color in drinking water may result from coloured organic substances or natural metallic ions such as iron, manganese and copper. Color causing organic substances are of particular concern due to their potential for disinfection by-product formation when they are combined with chlorine.
About industrial production, largely pulp and paper and textile industries, color is often measured in the wastewater for removal purposes and effluent monitoring. Dyes and coloured organic substances are used extensively to add colour to various different substrates in the manufacturing process. The wastewater stream from these processes can contain a high level of color, if discharged untreated, can cause environmental problems, problems for downstream drinking water facilities, or wastewater treatment issues for wastes discharged to the sewer system.
