Real-time information about the quality of water available from the country's major rivers will now be available online.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) began publishing results of tests on surface water quality at 100 locations yesterday. The information is updated every four hours.

The quality of surface water is not directly linked to tap water, but monitoring rivers and lakes can help ensure the safety of the water supply, especially when contamination accident happens, MEP officials said.
