Physico-chemical analysis of drinking water quality in Hanamkonda area, Warangal District, Andhra Pradesh, India

Abstract

The suitability of water quality for drinking purpose in the Hanamkonda area was assessed by measuring physicochemical parameters, including major cation and anion compositions, pH, total dissolved solid, electrical conductivity, and total hardness. The nitrate concentration ranged between 6 to 100 mg/l with mean value of 39.44 mg/l. On the basis of nitrate concentration it is illustrated that 61% of samples are suitable for drinking purpose. The chloride content in 27.7% of groundwater samples is above the WHO standard. The Values obtained for different parameters, are compared with the standard values given by WHO/TSE and suitable suggestion were made. In Hanamkonda area, water investigation was carried out to identify groundwater geochemistry and its suitability for drinking purpose.
