Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Science - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Water is a precious commodity and very essential part of human life. We can say that survival oflife can not possible without water and if drinking water has some undesirable substance because ofits good solvent nature. Then it will harmful for the community. The use of pure waters fordrinking and other purposes have been the dominant concern along with the concern of betterenvironment. The development of new technology has grown up steadily but water purification inthe community level almost remains same. Water purification process will be a major challengethroughout the world. Ground water is one of the major sources of water for domestic purposes inIndia. In our rural areas water is considered to be pure and unpolluted if it is odorless, free fromturbidity and good from aesthetic point of view. But even if the water is clear, it may be polluted.Besides that, the surface water is contaminated by the effluents from industries, municipalities andother places. The hydro-geochemical analysis and quality evaluation of drinking water sources arethe strategic topic for research and development activities as well as natural resources management.This study is performed to bring out a drinking water quality status in rural and urban area of Alwardistrict (Raj.). Alwar district lies in the eastern plains of Rajasthan State, covers an area 8,380 km2and lies between 27°-57' N latitude and 76°-6'E longitude. Different sampling stations wereselected for the study purpose in the district. Sample collected from the Bore-wells and hand pumpswere analyzed for the various physicochemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity (EC),sodium(Na+), potassium (K+), Calcium (Ca+2), magnesium (Mg+2), fluoride (F-), chloride (Cl-),sulphate (SO4-2), nitrate (NO3-), total dissolved solids (TDS) and total hardness (TH). The resultsrevealed that most of the water samples were out of limit according to the WHO standards.
