PHED&WS CE Toko Jyoti, said that the MWTLs for water quality testing is intended to cover rapid testing of basic water quality parameters in remote and hilly areas; where there are no laboratories within a reasonable distance of the sampling station.

The MWTL shall provide support during natural disaster, epidemic, large scale emergencies and refugee camps and/or to areas without electricity supply. A significant advantage of this mobile laboratory is that the tests are carried out on fresh samples whose characteristics have not been contaminated or otherwise changed as a result of storage in a container, thus it must be used for areas that are sensitive with respect to some water quality issues, he added.
