Transcript:

Testing one's drinking water can be intimidating to a household well owner, but it can be easy if you know a few basic steps, says the National Ground Water Association (NGWA). If you are concerned about your well water, these three steps can help get owners the appropriate tests for contaminants that might present a health risk — or create taste, odor, or appearance problems:
1. Determine what you should test for in your water.
2. Obtain a reliable water test.
3. Get an interpretation of your test results so you can take any appropriate action.
NGWA recommends that well owners test annually for bacteria, nitrate, and anything of local concern: for instance, naturally occurring hazards, such as arsenic, or man-made, such as chemical or heavy metals from industrial or waste sites. Most county health departments do some water testing, and many well owners are within a reasonable distance of a drinking water testing lab.

Option 1: "The testing one's drinking water and how one should focus on the different aspects and check about them."

Explanation: This option accurately captures the main idea of the text, which discusses the importance of testing drinking water and outlines the steps to take. The phrase 'different aspects' refers to the various contaminants mentioned in the text, such as bacteria and nitrates, aligning with the overall theme of ensuring safe drinking water.

Option 2: "How the National Ground Water Association is helping an individual in deciding about the main components present in water."

Explanation: While the NGWA is mentioned, this option misrepresents the text's focus. The text emphasizes the steps for testing water rather than the NGWA's role in decision-making. The phrase 'main components' is vague and does not reflect the specific contaminants discussed.

Option 3: "The risk on the health of an individual while drinking the water in which there is odor and some taste."

Explanation: This option incorrectly narrows the text's focus to health risks associated with taste and odor, which are only part of the broader discussion. The text emphasizes testing for various contaminants, not just those affecting taste or odor, making this option incomplete.

Option 4: "The main focus is on the components that are present in the water and the ones one should always make sure are present."

Explanation: This option is misleading as it suggests a focus on components that should be present in water, which contradicts the text's emphasis on identifying harmful contaminants. The text discusses testing for potentially harmful substances, not ensuring certain components are present.
