STUDY ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETER AND MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS WATER COLLECTED FROM RAIPUR AREA
Dr. Amit Kumar Dutta*, Manoj Sahu, Jitendra Gilhare and Sakjukta Badhei
ABSTRACT Raipur is a city in Raipur district in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. The quality of water of Raipur area is determined and characterized by different physic-chemical parameters and microbiological analysis. The pH values of all water samples were found between 6.5 to 8.5 (according to WHO standard) except Vivekanand pond i.e. 8.9. In general, the water quality of Raipur area can be said to be fairly good. On the basis of the physico-chemical studies, it can be said that the Marine Drive is rich in nutrients and suitable for aquatic organisms. Slight alkaline medium and high amount of nutrients provide favorable conditions for aquaculture. An effort has been made to comprehend the groundwater quality of Raipur city for drinking purpose utilizing Water Quality Index (WQI) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. In this study thirty four groundwater samples were collected during May, 2015. Standard methods has been adopted in groundwater sampling which are prescribed by the American Public Health Association (APHA, 1995). Anthropogenic activities are influencing the groundwater quality of the study area. The present study is helpful in proper planning and management of available water resource for drinking purpose. Though this type of research is the beginning, it’s can’t be possible to give the clear-cut conclusion. Further more details research to be required in future to draw an attention towards the population those who are working in different organization.
