Drinking water is essential for life, and is the most important liquid in nature, so it is necessary to keep clean drinking water and stop pollution to avoid diseases that reach humans, animals or agriculture in general. The objective of this work is to evaluate the bromatological quality of water for domestic use through bibliographic research to guarantee its safety. The method used is the logical - deductive method, proceeding to the review of scientific articles, and based on the results of analyzes carried out in drinking water in the city of Machala, a comparison was made with the values established in current regulations NTE INEN 1108 :2014. The water for domestic use meets certain chemical parameters, presenting a pH of 7.2 and negative in nitrite content in the Santa Elena neighborhood, while in the Amazonas 2 neighborhood it has a pH value of 7.5 and free chlorine 0. However , the water is not suitable for human consumption because it fails to comply with microbiological requirements, that is. Therefore, it is recommended to perform physical-chemical and microbiological tests established in current regulations, to ensure that there are no deviations from the water quality parameters and ensure safety.
