Evaluation the microbial and physio-chemical quality of drinking water in military units

Background: About 60% of body weight contains water. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of drinking water in military units. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study on water specimen of military units. The specimen was sent to the quality for microbial and physio-chemical control lab related to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The result was compared with the ISIRI number 1503 and 1014. Results: Our findings indicated that total hardness, Mg, So4 and Po4 of some military units were over the standard. Only in one unit a solar desalination was used and all parameters were under the standards. Conclusion: It is needed to improve the quality of drinking water in some units
