Iron in Well Water: Case Study in Dulalowo and Heledulaa Districts

Abstract: This study aims to determine the iron content of water wells in Dulalowo and Heledulaa, Gorontalo City. Ten well water samples were taken randomly from five different wells in each district. Water samples at each well consist of top, middle, and bottom water. Determination of iron level using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) at a wavelength of 248.33 nm. The results showed that the iron concentration of well water in Dulalowo was 0.030 (D1), 0.265 (D2), 0.224 (D3), 0.158 (D4), 0.149 ppm (D5). Meanwhi… Show more

“…Iron in groundwater will contain up to a few milligrams of iron (II) per litre without discolouration or visible cloudiness in the water when pumped directly from the well, although turbidity and colour may occur as it passes through the piping system at iron levels above 0.05 -0.1 mg/L (Ghosh, 2020); (Siahaan, 2019). Iron found in well water and then consumed by humans through drinking water containing 0.3 mg/L will contribute about 0.6 mg to daily intake (Iyabu, 2020).…”
