Water Analysis Test
- 1. BY S. VIJIPRIYA II MSc, PHYSICS. E.G.S Pillay Arts & Science College, Nagapattinam-611002 UNDER THE GUIDEANCE OF Dr. K. SENTHILARASAN National Seminar on Advanced Materials (NSAM-2020)
- 2. Water is the one of the most common yet the most precious on the earth without which there would be no life on earth. Pollution is a serious problems as 70 % India's surface water resources and as growing number of its ground water reserves have been contaminated by biological, organic and inorganic pollutants. Adequate supply of portable safe water in essential and is the basic need for all human being and earth.
- 3. The present study has been undertaken to investigate the Physic-chemical analysis of pond water and bore well water in Thethi village at Nagapattinam District. Nagapattinam is a coastal district of Tamil Nadu situated on the eastern side of Nagapattinam the district headquarter lie 326 km. Nagapattinam lies between Northern Latitude 10.7906 degrees and 79.8428 degrees Eastern longitude. The district spreads over an area of 2,715.83 sq.km
- 6. Following parameters are measured they are: Color pH Conductivity TDS Total hardness Alkalinity Chloride Sulphate
- 7. Color : The appearance of pond water sample is in yellow color. The appearance of bore well water sample is in slightly yellow color. pH: pH value is an important factor in maintaining the carbonate and bicarbonate levels in water. It indicates the intensity of acidity and alkalinity and measure the hydrogen ion concentration in water. The pH values are found to be with the permissible limit of WHO (6.5-8.5).
- 8. Conductivity: Electrical conductivity is a measure of water capacity to convey electric current. The conductivity of water depends upon the concentration of ions and its nutrient status. Based on the electrical conductivity values of the water quality can be classified as poor, good, medium. TDS: Total dissolved solids indicates the salinity behavior of water. Total hardness: Hardness of water mainly depend upon the amount of calcium and magnesium salt. The total hardness values are higher than desirable limit of WHO(300ppm).
- 9. Alkalinity: Alkalinity is due to presence of carbonate. Alkalinity itself is not harmful to human beings. Chloride: The chloride concentration serves as an indicator of pollution by sewage. People accustomed to higher chloride in the water subjected to laxative effects. The chloride values are exceeded the permissible limit of WHO (600 ppm). Sulphate: Sulphate occurs naturally in water as a result of leaching from gypsum and other common minerals. The values of Sulphate are permissible limit of WHO (250 ppm).

- 12. S.No Parameters Source Of Occurrence Potential Health Effect 1 Color Due To Presence Of Dissolved Salts - 2 Electrical Conductivity Due To Different Dissolved Solids Conductivity Due To Inoizable Ions. High Conductivity Increases Corrosive Nature Of Water. 3 pH pH Is Changed Due To Different Dissolved Gasees And Solids. Affects Mucous Membrance, Bitter Taste, Corrosion 4 Total Hardness Presence Of Calcium And Magnesium Ions In A Water Supply . It Is Expressed. Hardness Minerals Exist To Some Degree In Every Water Supply Poor Lathering With Soap, Deterioration Of The Quality of Clothes, Scale Forming. 5 Total Alkalinity Due To Dissolved Gases Embrittlement Of Boiler Steel. Boiled Rice Turns Yellowish. Source of occurrence and potential health effects with USEPA guidelines.
- 13. 6 TDS Presence All Dissolved Salts Undesirable Taste, Gastro- Intestinal Irritation, Corrosion Or Incrustation. 7 Chloride Water Additive Used To Control Microbe, Disinfect. Eye/ Nose Irritation, Stomach Discomfort. Increase Corrosive Character Of Water. 8 Sulphate Due To Dissolved Ca/Mg/Fe Sulphate Taste Affected, Gastro- Intestinal Irritation. Calcium Sulphate Scale. 9 Nitrate Runoff From Fertilizer Use, Leaking Fromseptic Tanks, Sewage, Erosion Of Natural Deposits. Effect On Infant’s Below The Age Of Six Months Symptoms Include Shortness Of Breath And Blue-Baby Syndrome.
- 14. In the present study reveal that the Thethi borewell water are found high polluted in physico chemical profile. Because that all the values are above the permissible limit if standard values. The borewell water do not meet the drinking water standards and is unfit for drinking and domestic purpose. Pond water fit for only construction purpose.
