Water Analysis Lab in India
Water looks the same whether it's safe or not — that's exactly the problem. Chemical pollutants, dissolved solids, heavy metals, and microbial contamination don't show up to the eye or the tongue, which is why lab testing is the only real way to know what you're actually dealing with.
SGM National Laboratory is a water testing lab in India based in Udaipur, Rajasthan, working with clients nationwide and in a handful of international markets. We run water analysis for drinking water safety, industrial process water, wastewater and effluent, and groundwater or surface water studies — using calibrated instruments, standardized methods, and a team that reviews every result before it goes out the door.
Reliable Water Testing. Clear, Actionable Results.
Types of Water Testing We Offer
SGM National Laboratory tests water from many different sources, and each one carries different risks. Drinking water is checked for safety, process and boiler water for scaling and corrosion, and effluent for discharge conditions. We plan every test panel around the water source, its intended use, and the standards that apply to it, such as IS 10500 for drinking water.
Drinking Water Analysis
We test drinking water for relevant physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters to assess quality and suitability. Results help households, institutions, and businesses monitor water quality and support applicable safety and regulatory requirements.
Process Water Testing
Industrial water testing evaluates water used in production, cooling systems, boilers, and utilities. Testing helps identify quality issues that may affect process efficiency, equipment condition, product consistency, and overall industrial operations.
Effluent Analysis
As a wastewater testing laboratory, we assess pollutants and key parameters in wastewater and effluent to understand treatment performance and discharge conditions. Results support monitoring, treatment evaluation, compliance requirements, and management.
Groundwater Analysis
Groundwater testing helps assess the quality of water obtained from borewells and other underground sources. Analysis can identify relevant physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics for drinking, irrigation, industrial, or environmental applications.
Surface Water Analysis
Surface water from rivers, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and other sources can be tested for relevant quality parameters. Results help assess water conditions and support environmental studies, irrigation planning, monitoring, and water resource management.
Cooling Water Testing
Boiler and cooling water testing helps monitor properties that can influence scaling, corrosion, deposits, and system performance. Regular analysis provides useful data for water treatment, maintenance planning, and efficient industrial operations.
Environmental Water Testing
Environmental water analysis supports investigations of water quality in industrial, agricultural, and urban areas. Testing can evaluate specified physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters for monitoring, assessment, and environmental management purposes.
Irrigation Water Testing
Irrigation water testing evaluates relevant parameters that may affect soil conditions and crop performance. Results help farmers and agricultural professionals assess water suitability and make informed decisions about irrigation and water management for better crop planning.
Water Quality Monitoring
Water quality monitoring provides regular analytical data for facilities, projects, and organizations that need to track water conditions over time. Testing supports quality control, environmental monitoring, treatment evaluation, and applicable compliance requirements.
