Assessment of drinking water quality in around Chitrakoot region Tehsil Majhagwan, District Satna, Madhya Pradesh, India

Abstract

Water represents the basic elements supporting life and the natural environment, a primary component for industry, a consumer item for humans and animals, and a vector for domestic and industrial pollution. Much of ill health that affects humanity, especially in the developing countries can be traced to lack of safe and wholesome water supply. There can be not state of positive health and well being without water. The study was aimed at examining the various samples of drinking water and the quality of the groundwater as it relates to public health. Ten groundwater samples were taken from hand pump were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), chloride, total alkalinity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and total hardness. The results were compared with WHO and IS: 10500 standards. The usefulness of these parameters in predicting ground water quality characteristics were discussed. Thus an attempt has been made to find the quality of ground water in around Chitrakoot region Tahsil Majhagwan suitable for drinking purposes or not.
