ABSTRACT

There are a lot of countries which are facing water scarcity problem. Now a days water related diseases are very common among the people, it’s a serious public health issue. The goal of the study of the water to know the quality of the drinking water in ambah city. To perform the analysis of the drinking water, we collect total 18 samples and out of which 5 from old pipeline,5 from the new pipe line, 5 from different tubewells and 4 from the Chambal river. After the study of all the sample we get average of the different parameters as follows: pH(7.4), total dissolved solid(TDS)(567.75mg/L), electrical conductivity(EC)(915.25 μS/cm) , Turbidity(-0.24NTU), magnesium (10.625mg/L),total hardness(315.31mg/L), fluoride(0.57mg/L), calcium(36.55mg/L), nitrate(2.72mg/L), sulphate(142.5mg/L), Phosphate(0.05) are the physicochemical parameter analysed. The study of all the parameters reveals that most of the parameters are with in the standard recommended by the WHO. But there is some of the parameters such as total dissolved solid (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC),Phosphate and total hardness does not meet the standards. TDS level in samples lies between the range of the 480mg/L to 650mg/L with the average of the 567.75mg/L which is more than the WHO recommendation of <300mg/L. concentration of phosphate in Chambal water is more than the recommendation due to the organic waste thrown in it. apart from the some exceptions , water quality of the water of ambah municipal town is suitable for drinking. A questionnaire was designed with the help of existing literature about public awareness on water quality. Public satisfaction can be enhanced by the dissemination of the significant importance of the water quality in annual government. Reports to the public i.e. print media social media television and news paper
