The crucial role of physiochemical parameters in evaluating the potability of water: A review
Madhuri Warbhe
Abstract:
Water is what makes our planet so unique and virtually everything on our planet relies on it. Having clean and safe water is vital to our individual health, our collective agricultural needs and the needs of our environment. Urbanisation, agricultural runoff and many anthropognic activities affect the water quality. Physiochemical parameters is very necessary and principal to test the water at regular interval of time before it is used for domestic, agricultural, drinking and industrial purpose. Water need to be tested with many physicochemical parameters like temperature, pH, alkalinity, turbidity, TDS, Electrical conductivity, CO2, Dissolve Oxygen, BOD, Nitrate etc. Evaluating the potability of water is essential to ensure it is safe for human consumption. Physicochemical parameters play a crucial role in this evaluation, as they provide important information about the waters quality and safety. These parameters include physical properties, chemical constituents and contaminants, each affecting the waters suitability for drinking.
