Water quality analysis through the determination of physico-chemical parameters of different water samples, at Hingna, Nagpur Maharashtra

science & environment

ABSTRACT The present study was carried out to determine the physico-chemical properties of water samples from different region of vidarbha of Nagpur district, Hingna Taluka. The analysis was done for the parameters like Turbidity, pH, Total Dissolved Solids, Electrical Conductivity, Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Chloride, Calcium and Magnesium. The results indicated that physico-chemical parameters of the water were within the permissible limits and can be used for domestic, irrigation. Water is one of the most important of all natural resources known on earth. The safety of drinking water is important for the health. The safety of drinking water is affected by various contaminants which included chemical and microbiological. Such contaminants cause serious health problems. Due to these contaminants quality of the Drinking Water becomes poor. Sometimes such poor quality water causes many diseases in the humans so that quality of the water must be tested for both the chemical as well as for the microbial contaminants. During the study it was found that maximum number of physical and chemical parameter were within the desirable limit, as suggested by WHO (1971) and BIS (1991). The objective of the present research is to provide information on the physicochemical characteristics & detailed ecological studies of well water and Bore water in order to discuss it’s suitability for human consumption. Physicochemical aspects of the water have been investigated to assess the quality of water.
