Limnochemistry of Surface Water of Different Villages of Sri Ganganagar District (Rajasthan)
Keywords:
Drinking water, surface water, limnochemistry, physico-chemicalAbstract
The drinking water quality directly affects human health. The present investigation is thus a small contribution to understand the quality status of surface water of different villages of Sri Ganganagar district of northern Rajasthan. For sample collection Ganganagar district was divided in six different zones namely zone A, B, C, D, E and F. Total 63 samples were collected from these six zones. The physico-chemical parameters such as pH, freeCO2, dissolved oxygen; chloride, Total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, total alkalinity, sulphate, nitrate and total dissolved solids were analyzed. The parameters analyzed in present study show that the surface water is normal soft water and all the parameters are within the permissible limits for drinking water recommended by WHO, BIS and ICMR.
