Abstract :

Water scarcity involves water stress, water shortage or deficits, and water crisis. This may be due to both natural and human factors. But, many reports suggest that the scarcity is more due to the human factor than anything – such as industrialization, irrigation, domestic use, etc. Unsafe drinking water is one of the main concerns in developing countries. Water supplies were sampled throughout the villages of this area mostly from boreholes, open wells, rivers and lakes as well as some piped waters. The samples were analyzed for their physical–chemical parameters and quality in order to identify the contamination problems and suggest appropriate solutions. Results of the assessment confirmed that in the studied area there are several parameters of health and aesthetic concern.

Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, biological, and radiological characteristics of water. It is a measure of the condition of water relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species and to any human need or purpose. It is most frequently used by reference to a set of standards against which compliance, generally achieved through treatment of the water, can be assessed. The most common standards used to assess water quality relate to health of ecosystems, safety of human contact, and drinking water. Generally we have survey of drinking water of some selected areas in Ratoli village having the population approximately 3500 and the chief sources of water supply are the Hand pumps, Bore wells, Wells, Ponds, Dam and River etc. The following parameters applied for monitoring of drinking water qualities for practical and study proposes. We are using some analytical parameter such as Temperature, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Alkalinity, Hardness and Fluoride quantity in Drinking Water.
