Class Uses
l Represent water bodies of excellent quality. Standards set for the conservation
of natural environment in its undisturbed state. Water bodies such as those in
the national park areas, fountain heads, and in land and in undisturbed areas
come under this category where strictly no discharges of any kind is permitted.
Water bodies in this category meet the most stringent requirements for human
health and aquatic life protection.
ll Represents water bodies of good quality. Most existing raw water supply
sources come under this category. In practise, no body contact activity is
allowed in this water for the prevention of probable human pathogens. There is
a need to introduce another class for water bodies not used for water supply
but similar quality which may be referred to as Class IIB. The determination of
Class IIB standards is based on criteria for recreational use and protection of
sensitive aquatic species.
lll Is defined with the primary objective of protecting common and moderately
tolerant aquatic species of economic value. Water under this classification may
be used for water supply with extensive/advanced treatment. This class of
water is also defined to suit livestock drinking needs.
lV Defines water required for major agricultural activities which may not cover
minor applications to sensitive crops.
V Represents other water which do not meet any of the above uses.
