 ABSTRACT

Due to increase population, advanced agricultural practices,

industrialization, man-made activity, water is being highly polluted with
different contaminants. Water is a vital resource for human survival. This
research paper examines the quality of municipal corporation supplied
water, bore-well, jamia filter plant and hand pump of akkalkuwa taluka of
nandurbar maharshtra, India. Sample from five different places were
collected in the month of march,2019. The physio-chemical and biological
parameters was analyzed with reference to I.S/B.I. S and W.H.O.
recommendation. During the study period various water quality parameters
were analyzed pH, Hardness, Conductivity, turbidity, Dissolved oxygen,
Chemical oxygen demand, Alum dose, Total solids, Biological oxygen
demand, Alkalinity, Residual chlorine. The present study concluded that the
total solids and residual chlorine and BOD in water sample is above the
permissible limit but total solids is above the acceptable limit and below the
permissible limit, and remaining those parameters under the limits.

 INTRODUCTION

Water is one of the most important and abundant compounds of the

ecosystem. All living organisms on the earth need water for their survival
and growth. As of now only earth is the planet having about 70 % of water.
But due to increased human population, industrialization, the use of
fertilizers in the agriculture and man-made activity, it is highly polluted with
different harmful contaminants. In Akkalkuwa and Nandurbar district
Maharashtra state municipal supplied drinking water plays an important role
as these district abundant increasing population growth. The main sources
of ground water in akkalkuwa are tube-well, well, reservoir, bore well.
Municipal supply water from the major source of water supply for drinking
purposes in most part of India. In Akkalkuwa more than 90% of the
population of Akkalkuwa region depend upon the natural ground water for
their daily water demand. The safe portable water is absolutely essential for
healthy living. According to WHO/IS above 80% of the diseases of the
world population and more than one-third of the deaths in the developing
countries are due to pollution of water.

An effort has been made to comprehend the groundwater quality of

Akkalkuwa region for drinking purpose utilizing Water Quality Index
(WQI) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. In this study
four groundwater samples were collected during March, 2019. Standard
methods have been adopted in groundwater sampling which are prescribed
by the American Public Health Association (APHA, 1995), and World
Health Organisation (W.H.O). Eleven water quality parameters have been
considered to ascertained water quality index. pH, residual chlorine,
turbidity, total solids, conductivity, alkalinity, hardness, biological oxygen
demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen and alum dose. The
World Health Organisation has been considered to assess the suitability of
groundwater for drinking purposes. This study reveals that 66% area is
falling under excellent and 14% very good and good category and 20% area
is falling under poor, very poor and unfit category as per the W.H.O
classification. The predicted accuracy of the obtained result is around
97.05% reflecting capability of adopted techniques.
 LITERATURE REVIEW

The various technical on the assessment of water quality for bore-well,

municipal corporation, hand pump and jamia filter plant and different areas
have been standard research level for the study. The various physio-
chemical para meter was studied and analysed in march, 2019 different
parameters which is conducted or analysed like D.O, B.O.D, C.O.D, pH,
Turbidity, Residual chlorine, Alkalinity etc. Where studied. The result
revealed that there was significant seasonal variation in some physical-
chemical property of water but hand-pump was moderately polluted in
akkalkuwa region on the basis of study its was clarify that this water is not
for potable and due to some pollutants organism it is harmful for skin and
aquatic life.
We are referred various technical research papers on assessment of ground
water quality for bore-wells, hand-pump, reservoir and different places,

Site Study :
The water of Reservoir, hand pump, and Filter water of akkalkuwa
nandurbar Maharashtra is used by 90% of people which is survive in
akkalkuwa region. The present study was conducted in akkalkuwa rural area
the geographical coordinates of akkalkuwa nandurbar, India is latitude
21.55˚N longitude 74.02˚ E. Elevation above sea level: 686 ft. (209meter)
the state of Maharashtra is primarily a mountainous or hilly area.

Collection of Sample and Their Analysis :

The total one municipal supplied water sampling sites two samples from
different two sampling
site of akkalkuwa during
the last February to half
of the march in the year
2019. The water samples
for analysis were
collected in plastic
bottles and all the
sample were stored in
sampling kits and
brought to the
Environment laboratory for detailed chemical and bacteriological analysis.
The physio-chemical analysis was performed following standard method
(I.S &B.I. S).

Methodology :
pH: - pH is one of the most common analyses in water testing, is the
standard measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. It is measure a scale
from 0 14. pH is of 7 is neutral, pH is less than 7 is acidic and pH is more
than 7 is basic.
Conductivity :
Conductivity is measured by electric conductivity meter which is carried
our solution electric conductivity used to quickly estimate the ionic or
soluble salt concentration in water sample. The instrument is standardized
with known values of conductance observed with KCL solution.

Turbidity :
Turbidity may be due to organic and inorganic constituents. Organic
particulates may harbor micro-organism. Thus, turbid conditions may
increase the possibility for bone disease.

Dissolved Oxygen :
The amount of oxygen which is dissolved in water, such as river and lake.
All living organisms depend upon oxygen to maintain the metabolic process
that produce energy for growth and water quality index increase till
dissolved oxygen value reaches to 100 mg/lit. Above 100 mg/lit, the water
quality index decrease and the water quality becomes very poor. D.O is the
most important indicator of the health of water bodies and its capacity to
support balanced aquatic ecosystem of plants and animals.
Hardness :
Hardness is defined as the sum of calcium and magnesium hardness in mg/l
as CaCO3. As per IS: 10500-2012 desirable limit and permissible limit for
hardness lies between 200-600 mg/l respectively. The effect of hardness is
scale in utensils and hot water system in boilers. High concentration of
hardness may Couse the problem of heart disease and kidney stones.
Total Solids :
Total dissolved solids is a measure of the suspended and dissolved solids in
water. Total solids are directly related to the purity if water and the quality
of water purification system and effects everything that consumes, lives in,
or uses water, whether organic or inorganic, whether for better or worse.
Common inorganic salts that can be found in water include calcium,
magnesium, potassium and sodium which are cations and carbonates,
nitrates bicarbonates, chlorides and sulphates which are anions. The settling
of suspended solid from turbid waters threatens benthic aquatic
communities. Deposited particles may obscure sources of food, habitat,
hiding places and nesting sites. Most aquatic insects will simply draft with
the current out of the affected area. Increase sediment may impact plant
communities. Primary production will decline because of a deduction in
light penetration. Sediment may damage plants by burial, scouring and
abrasion.
 DISCUSSION

During the study period various physio-chemical municipal supplied water

quality parameters like pH, turbidity, conductivity, TDS, alkalinity, total
hardness, residual chlorine, D.O, B.O.D, COD, colour, odour, taste are
conducted.
According to above conducted parameters we clarify that some parameters
are under the acceptable limit and some are not, due to which many
problems are faces by the consumers like kidney stones, cholera, diabetes,
blood pressure, cancer, diarrhea, malaria, dengue etc. These are the major
factors which are directly harmful affected to the aquatic life or human body.
As per the study the average pH of different sampling site was 7.51 which
are within acceptable limit. Highest value (8.31) of pH was found at the
Sample 2.
Turbidity is essential for measure because if turbidity is high then it is block
filters and stop them working effectively. As per our study we see that
turbidity of all samples are under the acceptable limit.

TDS refers to matter suspended or dissolved in water or waste water with

high content inferior and may be polluted. In study it was found that the
TDS of akkalkuwa region average TDS is 327mg/lit. But according to our
study TDS of sample 1&2 is high from desirable limit.
Similarly, we see that the value of hardness and residual chlorine are excess
in 1&2 as per WHO limit. Also saw that Dissolved oxygen is under the
desirable limit or under the WHO limit, but we see that after 5 days’
incubation at 20˚c biological oxygen demand is very high (2.8mg/lit) for
sample-2 (municipal corporation) while WHO limit say that it is not exceed
1.2mg/lit.
Alkalinity range of water in different samples in around Akkalkuwa
municipal supply water where found average 32.34mg/lit which is under the
permissible limit.
 CONCLUSION
The effects of water pollution are not only devastating to people, but
also to animals, fish, and birds also destroy aquatic life and reduces its
reproductive ability.
Polluted water is unsuitable for drinking, recreation, agriculture, and
industry. It diminishes the aesthetic quality of lakes and rivers.
Eventually, it is a hazard to human health.
The present review paper undertaken to account to bring an acute
awareness among the people about the quality of water.
The individual and the community can help minimize water pollution
by simple housekeeping and management practices the amount of
waste generated can be minimized.
The problem associated with waste water reuse arise from its lack for
treatment.
The challenge thus it to find such low-cost, low teach, users friendly
methods, which on one hand avoid treating us sustains waste water
depend living hoods and on the other hand protect degradation of our
valuable natural resources.
The use of constructed wetlands is now being recognized as an efficient
technology for waste water treatment. Compare to the conventional
treatment system, constructed wetlands need lesser material and
energy, are easily obtained have no sludge disposal problems and can
be maintain by untrained personnel.
Further these systems have lower construction, maintenance and
operating costs as this are driven by natural energy of sun, wind, soil,
micro-organisms, lands and animals.
Hence, for planned, strategic, safe and sustainable use for waste water
there seems to be a need for policy discussion and coherent programs
encompassing low cost decentralized waste water treatment
technologies.
So in this project, various taste will be conducted on water and compare
it with I.S & B.I.S standard. Until now no one has compare the ground
water quality on the basis of various zones. Therefore, there is the
potential for this project.
