Abstract
Drinking water source was open dug wells but as time passed these wells became dry due to decrease in ground water column. Present day locations under study get the drinking water from bore wells. These water sources are safe and hygienic compared to open dug wells. Health complaints after consumption of this water were alarming and it was envisaged to check their quality by chemical analysis. A systematic investigation of variations in some nutrient levels from 58 locations in Nizamabad mandal, Nizamabad district was carried out from August 2012 to July 2013. 457 samples from bore wells/hand pumps, which serve as drinking water sources in the locations of these studies, were sampled. The present investigation was undertaken to assess the magnitude of pollution by monitoring key water quality parameters like pH, turbidity, alkalinity, total hardness, and various ions such as Ca, Cl, F, Mg NO3- and SO42- by following the standard methods of APHA (American Public Health Association, 1998).
饮用水源为露天挖井,但随着时间的推移,由于地下水柱的减少,这些井逐渐干涸。目前正在研究的地点从井中获取饮用水。与露天挖井相比,这些水源安全卫生。饮用这种水后的健康投诉令人震惊,预计将通过化学分析检查其质量。2012年8月至2013年7月,对尼扎马巴德地区尼扎马巴德曼达尔58个地点的一些营养水平变化进行了系统调查。从这些研究地点作为饮用水源的钻孔/手泵抽取了457个样本。本研究采用美国公共卫生协会(American Public Health Association, 1998)的标准方法,通过监测关键水质参数,如pH值、浊度、碱度、总硬度和各种离子,如Ca、Cl、F、Mg NO3-和SO42-,来评估污染程度。
