“Physicochemical Analysis of Water from Various Sources and Their Comparative Studies”

Abstract

Water is one of the most important of all natural resources known on earth. It is important to all living organisms, most ecological systems, human health, food production and economic development. The safety of drinking water is important for the health. The safety of drinking water is affected by various contaminants which included chemical and microbiological. Such contaminants cause serious health problems. Due to these contaminants quality of the Drinking Water becomes poor. Sometimes such poor quality water causes many diseases in the humans so that quality of the water must be tested for both the chemical as well as for the microbial contaminants. During the study it was found that maximum number of physical and chemical parameter were within the desirable limit, as suggested by WHO (1971) and BIS (1991). bitat) in ordeThe objective of the present research is to provide information on the physicochemical characteristics & detailed ecological studies of Potable water and Lake water (Har to discuss it’s suitability for human consumption. Physicochemical and bio-chemical aspects of the water have been investigated to assess the quality of water. The variations of the physicochemical properties of water samples directly influence the biotic communities and primary productivity of the water bodies at different areas of Ahmedabad. Keywords: Potable water and Lake water, Ahmedabad, Physico-chemical and Investigation, ecological studies, Comparative studies. I.
