A study of physico-chemical analysis of surface water of Darbhaga city

Abstract

Due to human and industrial activities the ground water is contaminated. This is the serious problem now a day. Thus the analysis of the water quality is very important to preserve and prefect the natural eco system. The assessment of the ground water quality was carried out in the different wards of Darbhanga City. The ground water samples of all the selected stations from the wards were collected for a physiochemical analysis. For calculating present water quality status by statistical evaluation and water quality index, following parameters have been considered Viz. pH, colour, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, chromium, sodium, nickel. The study of physico-chemical and biological characteristics of this ground water sample suggests that the evaluation of water quality parameters as well as water quality management practices should be carried out periodically to product the water resources.
