English Abstract The laboratory of Water and Drinking Water Research of
the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection (RIVM)
is responsible for the monitoring of the drinking water quality in the
Netherlands. For this activity an information system will be developed to
registrate the quality data and to report to the government. This design is
the first part of an overall information system containing several aspects
of the public watersupply. Other information will be included later. When
using the same coded standerd lists (e.g. parameters) in the database,
quality data from different sources can be compared and linked together.
This information system will be realised with the relational database
"Ingres", in accordance with other laboratories of the
RIVM.
