Determination of Physico-Chemical parameters of Surface Water Samples in and around Akot City
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The physico-chemical parameters of water samples collected from various sites in and around Akot city were assess. The physicochemical parameter like, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca++) magnesium (Mg++ ), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), fluoride (F-), nitrate (NO-3) sulphate (SO2-4) and phosphate (PO3-4) was determined. The results were compared with standards prescribed by WHO (1973) and ISI (10500-91). It was found that the water samples collected from various sites in and around akot city was contaminated. All sampling sites showed physicochemical parameters above the water quality standards and the quality of water are very bad and it is unfit for drinking purpose. Whereas the sampling sites S11 and S12 has somewhat good quality water
