A CASE STUDY OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF UNDER GROUND DRINKING WATER OF RURAL AREAS OF(JIND BLOCK),JIND, HARYANA, INDIA.

Abstract

Water is an important natural resource for life and environment maintenance. In the recent decades the quality of water has been degraded due to its  exhaustive  exploitation. The major essential parameters of water quality is to be studied in the overall focus to maintain the development keeping in view of mankind at the focal point. The present study work was done for analysis of the various parameters of underground water in rural areas of Jind block,Haryana, India and to check its fitness for drinking. The main physico- chemical parameters viz. pH, TDS, electrical conductivity,  total alkalinity, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride ,fluoride, iron, sodium, potassium, total hardness calcium, magnesium, sulphate phosphate ions were investigated . The results are matched with drinking water quality standards prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) and World Health Organisation (WHO). Groundwater sampling carried away from August to September 2024. Most of the water samples were found to have total dissolved solids, alkalinity & hardness values more than their permissible limit. The above studies is good for understanding the ground water quality and their suitable fitness or unfitness of water for drinking domestic use at various sites undertaken. It is concluded that water quality of water supply system in different location of Jind block is of medium quality and can be used for domestic purpose after suitable treatment. Suitable suggestion have been made to improve the quality of water.
