Physico-Chemical Analysis of Water from Gavarapalem Area in Anakapalli City, Visakhapatnam District, Andhrapradesh

Abstract

Water is essential to life. The provision of water of adequate quantity for human use and consumption is not only a pre-requisite for development but also a major contribution towards the improvement of health, hygiene and welfare of people. They added that access to safe water reduces water-borne and water-washed diseases. In ordered to assess the quality of water in post moon soon we have determined physico-chemical analysis in gavarapalem area of Anakapalli city, Visakhapatnam District of Andhrapradesh State, India in post moon soon time in 2017. In Physico-chemical analysis, various quality parameters are measured including pH, Specific Conductivity, Turbidity, Total hardness, Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorides, Sulphates, Nitrates compared with Indian standards 10500: 2012 of water quality. The assessment of these parameters is essential to identify magnitude and source of any pollution load. These characteristics can identify certain condition for the ecology of living organisms and suggest appropriate conservation and management strategies.
