The focus of the present study was to determine the suitability of groundwater collected from South part of Romania for drinking purpose, on the basis of various water quality physico chemical parameters. In order to assess the groundwater quality, samples were collected from 6 different wells of selected study area and parameters such as pH, Electrical conductivity, Al3+, NH4+, NO2-, Ca2+, Cl, Total hardness, Fe2++Fe3+, PO43+, Mg2+, Mn2+, TDS, CCO-Mn, SO42-, F were determined using standard procedures. The majority of the observed parameters of all wells are under the permissible limit, apart from calcium, total hardness, iron, magnesium and organic substances which exceed the permitted limit. Nontheless, these indicators are part of the category of general chemical indicators and do not influence the toxicity of drinking water from wells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
