Water quality monitoring focuses in on the act and source of drinking
Implications - Water monitoring can often skew toward general utility use, however more emphasis has been placed on the quality of drinking water as of late. This is employed through a very direct approach, sometimes focusing in on the source of at-home drinking water, such as the tap. This shows a shift from water monitoring as a societal concern, to an individual concern.
