Abstract

<p>In this article, we describe requirements for ‘better tasting water’, proposed during ‘The Meeting on Better Tasting Water’. First, as items for indicating better taste, water temperature, evaporated residue, hardness and free carbon dioxide are discussed. On the other hand, as items for indicating worse taste, potassium permanganate consumption, threshold odor number and residual chlorine are explained. Total organic carbon (TOC), substances causing musty odor and trichloramine, which are related to potassium permanganate consumption, threshold odor number and residual chlorine, respectively, are also explained.</p><p>Finally, we introduce some of our activities for supplying better tasting tap water in Tokyo.</p>
