explore the intricacies of WQI parameters, may each factor unlock insights, fostering a deeper understanding of the delicate balance that shapes our water health. Ready to unravel the story behind each measurement?
pH (Potential of Hydrogen)
pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of water. Ideal levels range from 6.5 to 8.5. The safe range for drinking water pH levels is between 6.5 and 8.5. This range is considered optimal for human consumption and ensures that the water is free from harmful contaminants. Drinking water with a pH outside this range may affect its taste, quality, and safety.
BIS Standard Value And Ideal Value for pH
The BIS Standard value we are using is 8.5 and Ideal value of 7
Turbidity
Turbidity measures water clarity. Clear water allows light penetration for aquatic plants. our drinking water is almost always clear (very low turbidity). Other water, such as the creek behind your house after a rainstorm, is likely to be highly turbid—brown with floating sediment. Turbidity is the clarity of water and it is an important factor in water quality
BIS Standard Value And Ideal Value for Turbidity
The BIS Standard value we are using is 5 and Ideal value of 0
Conductivity/Electrical Conductivity (EC)
EC indicates the ability of water to conduct an electric current, related to dissolved ions. Electrical conductivity (EC) is a measurement of water ability to conduct electricity. EC is related to water temperature and the total concentration, mobility, valence and relative concentration of ions. Generally speaking, higher EC means more electrolytes in the water.
BIS Standard Value And Ideal Value for Electrical Conductivity
The BIS Standard value we are using is 1000 and Ideal value of 0
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
TDS measures the total amount of dissolved substances, including minerals. Total dissolved solids (TDS) is the total amount of solids dissolved in the water, including soluble hydrogen carbonate ions, chloride salts, sulphates, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, volatile solids and non-volatile solids. Its concentration will affect the taste of drinking water.
BIS Standard Value And Ideal Value for TDS
The BIS Standard value we are using is 1000 and Ideal value of 0
Total Coliform and E. coli Bacteria
Presence of coliform bacteria indicates contamination from fecal matter. Total coliform counts give a general indication of the sanitary condition of a water supply. Total coliforms include bacteria that are found in the soil, in water that has been influenced by surface water, and in human or animal waste.
BIS Standard Value And Ideal Value for Turbidity
The BIS Standard value we are using is 5 and Ideal value of 0
Conclusion
Remember, the WQI combines these parameters to provide a comprehensive assessment of water quality. Each parameter contribution to the index may vary based on local standards and environmental conditions.
