Physico-chemical study of ground water quality of some areas of Imphal city, Manipur-2nd Phase

Abstract

Ten (10) ground water samples from different location of Imphal City (2 belonging to Imphal East district and 8 belonging to Imphal West district, were analyzed for physico – chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, TDS (total dissolved solids), total hardness, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K),chloride (Cl). Percentsodium (%Na) values for the ten ground water samples, were calculated. Out of these ten samples analyzed, only the ground water of Chingmeirong Napali Basti of Imphal East district (represented by S-10) has physio –chemical parameters within desirable limits of BIS standards for drinking water. It is found to be of good quality, and fit for drinking and other domestic purposes. Although ground waters represented by S-5 and S-10 are of good quality for irrigation (or agriculture), other remaining ones may also be used for irrigation (or agriculture). However, in case of ground waters represented by S-1 to S-9, some suitable treatments are required so as to keep the values of some physico-chemical parameters within the desirable limits of BIS standards for drinking water though all the samples are fit for domestic and irrigation (or agriculture) purposes.
