Author(s): Dr. Rajendra Arvind Shevde

Abstract:

In order to ascertain water quality for human consumption, major and minor ions were evaluated in the drinking water supplied to the city of Lanja, Ratnagiri. Standard methods were used for determining of chemical and physical characteristics of the water samples. The data showed that the investigated parmeters in Borewell, River, and well water samples as follows: pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Hardness, Alkalinity. The concentrations of investigated parameters in the drinking water samples from Lanja, Ratnagiri were within the permissible limits of the world Health Organization drinking water quality guidelines.
