Abstract:
Water quality guidelines have two main applications.
Firstly, and more commonly, water quality guidelines
are used to assess the fitness for use (FFU) of a
given water for a specific purpose. Secondly, water quality
guidelines are used to determine the desired composition of
water that would pose minimal risk when used for a specific
purpose, the so-called Water Quality Requirements (WQR).
In this article we will focus on the first of these applications
and specifically introduce a newly developed electronic
Decision Support System (DSS) that guides the user to
assess the fitness for use of a potential irrigation water.
