Assessment and Analysis of Drinking Water Quality Parameters and Standards Suitable for Human
Main Article Content
Abstract
The "Elixir of Life" is a term used to describe one of the most valuable natural resources: water. Although it is a renewable resource, excessive water use can result in severe shortages. Depletion of this natural resource is caused by a variety of factors, including population growth, industry, urbanisation, pollution, deforestation, climate change, etc. Ajmer's Sophia Girls' College believes that managing and conserving water, the most vital and pervasive element of life is its top priority. Providing clean and safe drinking water is the primary duty of every organisation. This is accomplished through effective management and conservation of the campus's water resources. As part of the campus's annual environment and energy assessment, regular water management audits are undertaken. The study of water management audit is periodically conducted and is based on estimation and analysis of many parameters of water quality evaluation, including pH of water, Turbidity, Alkaline methyl orange, Total hardness (as CaCO3), Chlorides, Nitrates, and Total Dissolved Salt (T.D.S).The college's drinking water has a pH of 7.8, a turbidity of 0.7, an alkaline methyl orange value of 120, a total hardness value of 130 (CaCO3), a chloride level of 60 or less, and an insignificant 2 ppm nitrate content. All indicators are well below the allowable level. A clean and secure supply of drinking water is guaranteed on campus by routine evaluation of water quality criteria.
