This is a space where visitors can experience information about water industry careers,
job opportunities, and take an interest and aptitude test related to the field.
Detailed Description of the Zone
- -Explore the Processes in the Experimental Analysis Department Before Drinking Water is Supplied to Households
- -Hygiene and Safety Standards refer to tests that check for the leaching of harmful substances from water supply materials (such as pipes, valves, faucets, etc.).
- -Tests are conducted in six areas: four related to drinking water quality, water treatment chemicals (such as disinfectants), viruses, and protozoa; and two related to the water quality pollution levels of sewage and wastewater, as well as hygiene and safety standards.
Through a microscope model, learn about the laboratory analysis department and experience the experimental methods conducted in the lab through animation.
1.Pathogenic microorganism testing (virus)
- -Pathogenic microorganisms, like animals, plants, and bacteria, are microbes that parasitize living organisms and can only reproduce inside cells.
- -Infections caused by viruses like norovirus or rotavirus can lead to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
- -Samples are collected and artificially cultured in the laboratory to rapidly increase the number of microorganisms, followed by measurement.
2.Pathogenic Microorganism Testing (Protozoa)
- -Protozoa are larger single-celled organisms compared to bacteria, and they are primitive animal-like microorganisms.
- -Infections with protozoa can cause diarrhea accompanied by abdominal pain.
- -After collecting samples, protozoa are isolated, and the number of individuals per unit area is measured.
3.Acute Toxicity Test Using Water Fleas
(for Industrial Wastewater, Sewage, River Water, and Lake Water)
- -An experiment to observe the reaction of water fleas when introduced into a sample, in order to determine if the sample contains harmful toxins to humans.
- -The experiment involves introducing juvenile water fleas, which are minimally affected by environmental factors, into the sample, and then observing their movement and condition after 24 hours.
