The increase in tourist traffic at Goa, India, has exerted pressure directly on the quality of the water supply, the disposal of wastes, and other community services. To sustain tourism and maintain high treated water standards, the water quality of the treatment plants at discharge points, reservoirs, and distribution systems at Goa was monitored during the monsoon, winter, and summer seasons of 1997 to1998 for instantaneous trihalomethanes, trihalomethane formation potential, and heavy metals. The final water quality supplied by the Assonora, Canacona, Dabose, Opa, Salaulim, and Sanquelim treatment plants was found to be within Indian Standard specifications and health-related World Health Organization guideline values.
