Physico-chemical and microbiological characterization of the ground water across the city Bareilly (U.P.), India

Abstract

Abstract:The drinking water quality (underground water) of Bareilly city has been assessed by estimating physicochemical parameters and calculating Water Quality Index (WQI). Water Quality Index plays an important role in interpreting the information on water quality. The WQI of different sites shows that drinking water is of good quality. The correlation between different parameters was also estimated. During course of study the average value of physico-chemical parameters studied were observed as temperature 20.17 o C, turbidity 2.17 NTU, pH 8.13, electrical conductivity 1360 mmhos/cm, total dissolved solids 1218.9 mg/l, total hardness 515.0 mg/l chlorides 106.34 mg/l, alkalinity 342.15, fluorides 0.44 mg/l, sulphates 84.68 mg/l, nitrates 22.83 mg/l, DO 2.44 mg/l, BOD 1.26 mg/l. While average MPN were observed as 5.66 and average WQI as 21.48.

Hydrochemical characteristics and planktonic composition assessment of River Henwal in Himalayan Region of Uttarakhand using CPI, Simpson's and Shannon-Weaver Index

“…Tests were gathered in triplicate from each site and normal incentive for every parameter was accounted for. The physical parameters like pH, Temperature, DO, Transparency, Velocity, and Free CO2 are recorded on the spot and other concoction parameters are recorded in the Laboratory which was resolved utilizing standard strategies (Khanna, 2011;APHA, 2012). Statistical Analysis: Every one of the information acquired subjected to measurable examination.…”
