This is due to the higher number of potential contaminants released to the water bodies leading to the potential risks to the human health. Raw water resources, including one river and three reservoirs representative of the major raw water resources in northern and central Taiwan, at four locations were selected to measure turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), oxidation and reduction potential (ORP), pH, alkalinity, total organic compounds (TOC), zeta potential, particle size, Al, Fe and heavy metal contents. Natural organic matter (NOM) was also examined using high-performance size-exclusion chromatography to distinguish the different molecular weight distribution of organic compounds, such as humic acids, that might affect the subsequent raw water treatment. TOC is highly related to NOM, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and chemical oxygen demand, and the influent standard is 4 mg/L in Taiwan. EC, ORP, pH, alkalinity, TOC and zeta potential had values of 231.68–350.60 μS/cm, 210.5–271.55 mV, 8.17–8.58, 65.65–86.25 mg/L, 1.54–2.73 mg/L and –16.58 to –22.60 mV, respectively. However, average turbidity (128.24 NTU) and average particle size at the Daiji River (5,067.56 nm) were higher than those at the Shimen, Yongheshan and Liyutan Reservoirs (2.20–6.39 NTU and 1,105.12–1,627.26 nm, respectively). These measured data and metal contents (the latest three years’ data, at least two seasons including summer and autumn) met the regulatory standards in Taiwan. Water quality index (WQI) containing dissolved oxygen solubility, faecal coliforms, pH, BOD5, nitrates, total phosphates, temperature deviation, turbidity and total solids indicated good conditions for three reservoirs and medium condition for Daiji River. NOM, which might produce potential disinfectant by-products, had similar patterns and contained humic acids and low molecular weight acids (LMWs), with the intensity order of Yongheshan Reservoir > Shimen Reservoir > Liyutan Reservoir > Daiji River. The Carlson trophic state index and field-emission scanning electron microscope plot of filtered solid of raw water showed the potential risk of algae to drinking water safety. ? 2017 Desalination Publications.
