ABSTRACT

Next to air, water is the most essential element to human life. It is essential to the functioning of every single cell and organ system in the human body. It is evidently clear that water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Our drinking water today, far from being pure, contains some two hundred deadly commercial chemicals and is unsuitable for human consumption. This study on Potable water analysis is to ensure safe drinking water available at government schools, identify problems and bring responsibility towards water resources and to learn the water quality technologies. Water samples were assessed during rainy season on physico-chemical parameters like pH, EC, Turbidity, TDS, Alkalinity, Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphate, Iron, DO and COD by using standard methods.

Keywords: Water Quality, Physico- Chemical parameters.
