Abstract

Most of the earth’s water sources get their water supplies through precipitation. During precipitation water passes over (runoff) and through the ground (infiltration), acquiring a wide variety of dissolved or suspended impurities that intensely alters its usefulness. Physical, Chemical and Bacteriological parameters of Well water quality of selected region of Mehsana District was examine that included quality parameters such as pH, temperature, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulphate, isolation of bacteria and biochemical tests. The well water sample collected from 50 different sampling sites using a composites sampling method and the important physico chemical and bacteriological parameters were determined and compared with the standard values provided by the World Health Organization to evaluate the quality of water. The present research work contribute the different water samples testing and determine their different physical and chemical properties for the benefit of human society.

Conclusion

The study reveals that many water quality parameters were found to be beyond the permissible limit of the WHO. The results executing results below permissible limit could help state the water quality to be accurate for drinking and household purpose. The result shows average concentration of the corresponding ions and mostly below the permissible values. Amount of minerals such as a Ca, Mg, chloride, sulphate, total hardness was present within the range of standard permissible value given by WHO. But well water from some rural region of some Mehsana district more amount of sulphate and total hardness of these minerals than other rural region. It was found that most of the water sample had higher values of TDS than the permissible values, which indicate water pollution via solid disposable waste around the well region. The presence of E. coli in very few samples also draw attention of cause of diarrhoea to the people directly drinking well water, (sample no. 3 and 26).
