Bengaluru City Water Quality Testing
Keywords:
pH, total dissolved solids, water analysis and Quality assessment.Abstract
Physical assessment of drinking water quality was carried out for the samples taken in Bangalore, India. Being one of the fatest growing cities in india, inevitably Bangalore is facing the pressure of supplying safe and healthy drinking water to such a huge population. Therefore it is of high importance quality in such place. In this present study water samples were collected from all over Bangalore peripheral regions as well as proportions from the central region as well. Test for pH and TDS were carried 20 samples. The whole city was divided in four regions for well parameter was found to fairly exceed the standard values in certain places. All the unfitness of the water may has occurred due to the poor storage and maintenance system. All the limit came high in some sector depending upon external sources. It is evident that more than 50 percent of water samples are non portable as per Indian standard
