| Abstract | ||
Water samples were collected for physico-chemical analysis from different areas of Shivamogga district , Karnataka. The water samples were analysed for various parameters such as pH, EC, salinity, total alkalinity, total dissolved solids, chloride, iron, fluoride, total hardness, BOD and dissolved oxygen. By comparing the results against drinking water quality standards laid by WHO, it is observed that water samples from these areas are potable for human consumption after treatment due to moderate levels of physico-chemical parameters. |
