Drinking water in Retz, Retzbach
2 supply zones — values can differ depending on the district. Below is the zone with the most documented parameters, the others collapsed underneath. To determine the exact match, look up the postcode.
How to read the share of the parametric value
12 % Share of the parametric value. The proportion of the permitted maximum that the measured value uses — here 12 %, so just over an eighth.
< 10 % * Below the limit of quantification. The substance was not detectable. The mark shows where the detection limit lies relative to the parametric value — the actual share of the parametric value is below that.
Several samples per year: for chemical parameters the mean value is given, for microbiological ones the highest measured value. There the parametric value is zero — a single finding would disappear in the average, and it is precisely that finding which is the information. Which reference applies is stated in the last column of the table.
