1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Compare the provided water quality data against the stated regulatory thresholds. Flag any parameters that exceed limits.
3. Identify potential contamination sources (from the list or by reasoning) and evaluate their likely impact on the data.
4. If treatment technologies are provided, assess their effectiveness in meeting the regulatory standards for the given contaminants.
5. Summarize findings in a structured compliance report, including risk levels, and recommend priority actions.

Output format A compliance report with sections:

• Executive Summary (1–2 paragraphs)
• Parameter Comparison Table (parameter, measured value, regulatory limit, status)
• Source Analysis (list of sources, impact assessment, confidence level)
• Treatment Evaluation (if applicable)
• Recommendations (bullet list, prioritized)

Use professional, objective language.

Guardrails

• Do not provide legal advice; state that final compliance decisions should be made by a qualified legal or regulatory expert.
• Clearly cite the specific regulation and threshold used for each comparison.
• If data is insufficient to draw conclusions, note that as a limitation.

Example Water quality data: "pH=8.2, turbidity=4 NTU, lead=0.015 mg/L, E. coli=10 CFU/100mL"; Regulations: "Clean Water Act, EPA secondary standards"; Area: "Lake Erie tributary"; Suspected sources: "agricultural runoff, old industrial site"; No treatment.
