“A safe and secure supply of drinking water is essential to ensuring public and environmental health in every community.”
US EPA, Investing in a Sustainable Future DWSRF Annual Report
The Safe Drinking Water Act empowers the US EPA to specify the legal limits for levels of contaminants in drinking water. The EPA additionally determines the water testing methods and sampling schedules that water providers must follow but has reported that a significant challenge exists with a deteriorating water supply infrastructure.
The demands upon the nation’s water resources have increased significantly over the last half century, and now the drinking water supply systems support over 240 million customers. With an aging water infrastructure, it has been recognized that investment is required to upgrade facilities and increase efficiency by reducing water loss, while ensuring consumer safety.
The EPA’s Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and Assessment report, released in 2009, found that an estimated $334.8 billion would need to be invested between 2007 and 2027 in order to continue to provide safe drinking water to the public.
As a result, significant increases in funding are available to replace and update facilities across the country and, at the same time, the US EPA has also increased the funding for regulatory surveillance of the 100+ water contaminants for which mandatory and recommended limits have been established.
Pre-Configured for Compliance with Water and Environmental Requirements
As the industry’s leading laboratory information management system, SampleManager LIMS includes a pre-configured, ready-to-use water and environmental sample management system. The Thermo Scientific Water and Environmental LIMS solution has been built on SampleManager and provides you with the latest technology to assist in connecting your lab with the enterprise to help you make faster, more informed decisions at all levels of the organization.
Developed in conjunction with environmental experts for ISO 17025 and NELAC requirements, the solution also has built-in functionality specific for workflows found in water and environmental labs.
