LEVELS OF MAGNESIUM, CALCIUM AND OTHER INORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN WATER OF THE WELLS IN RURAL AREAS OF BOTOŞANI COUNTY
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
In the rural areas of Botoşani county, the wells are sources of water for 91% of the population. Taking into account the fact that the levels of magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) in drinking water can influence the population health, we determined the concentration of these macro-elements in the water of some ells was observed in 10 rural localities (Răchiţi, Corni, Vârfu Câmpului, Dersca, Drăguşeni, Rădăuţi Prut, Dobîrceni, Albeşti, Prăjeni, Frumuşica) of Botoşani county. In 100 water samples there were sampled the following quality arameters of drinking water Ca, Mg, Na, K, total hardness (Dt), chlorides (Cl), bicarbonates (HCO3). Concerning the mineral content of water, we notice the high values of Mg concentration (the maximum concentration 91.27 mg/l) and Ca concentration (the maximum concentration 412 mg/l). Waters in the analyzed wells can be a source of essential elements for consumers.
