Water is the most important in shaping the land and regulating the climate. It is one of the most important compounds that profoundly influence life. The quality of water usually described according to its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Rapid industrialization and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture are causing heavy and varied pollution in aquatic environment leading to deterioration of water quality and depletion of aquatic biota. Due to use of contaminated water, human population suffers from water borne diseases. It is therefore necessary to check the water quality at regular interval of time. Parameters that may be tested include pH, turbidity, salinity, nitrates and phosphates, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), TSS (Total Suspended Solids), alkalinity and chloride. The results obtained from the water quality criteria parameter are within the drinking water standard.
