| Objective: This study was carried out to learn the reasons of non-compliance of water and its solution suggestions to get opinions of the health professional who contol/monitor the compliance of drinking water with the quality standards in our country. Methods: This is a descriptive study. The questionnaire form which was prepared by the researchers was used as data collection tool. The questionnaire was sent electronically to 81 Provincial Health Directorates and it was filled out by Deputy Manager of Environmental Health, Environmental Health Branch Manager and Environmental Health Branch personnel who monitor the drinking water quality. A total of 496 people were reached in 79 provinces. Results: According to the participants the first reason for microbiological non-compliance on drinking water is the problems related to water supply and distribution system (41.0%) and the most common solution is interventions in water supply and distrubition system (36.8%). Water source is the most important reason of chemical non-compliance (27.0%). As a solution, treatment system should be established and continuity should be ensured (20.2%). When the cause of low level of chlorine is considered, it is seen that effective chlorination isn't achieved (43.4%), effective chlorination is required as a solution (49.2%). Conclusion: Clean and safe water should flow from the taps to protect public health. The opinions of the health professionals who follow the quality of drinking water in the Provincial Health Directorates on the reasons of non-compliance and their suggestions for solutions show that they have knowledge and experience on the subject. Considering the opinions, the important role of local governments in water quality management is once again revealed. In order to provide safe water to the community, increasing the awareness of the subject, to provide conditional resource transfer to municipalities for use in water quality management studies and to making necessary arrangements for the implementation of legal sanctions to local administrators who don't carry out the necessary studies to eliminate nonconformities will be useful. Work can be carried out to provide the service demand of the consumer. In order to eliminate the non-conformities detected in drinking water all water structures must be made in such a way that they won't disrupt the quality of water, protect the water from pollutants, and maintenance repairs should be carried out regularly and rapidly. Especially, water reservoir must be cleaned regularly, automatic chlorination equipment should be used for appropriate dosage and continuous chlorination. Coordination and communication should be ensured continuously. |
