It is necessary, also to know the range of variation of the water or effluent. In the case of recycled water, its physical characteristics are fairly constant and can easily be specified. Provided that pumping is regular, the same often applies to well-water containing iron. 1, record 1, English, - range%20of%20variation

La variabilité des eaux devra être connue; quand il s’agit d’une eau recyclée, ses caractéristiques physiques sont assez constantes et peuvent être définies aisément. Il en est souvent de même pour une eau de forage ferrugineuse si le pompage est régulier. 1, record 1, French, - variabilit%C3%A9
