Abstract |
|
The ground water, sewage water and sea water from Rajkot and Saurashtra region has been studied. The various constituents monitored include the physico-chemical characters like color, odor, turbidity, pH, calcium, magnesium, bio-chemical oxygen demand and microbial parameters like MPN were analyzed. Introduction of sewage into the ground water was the main reason for the microbial contamination. The boiling of water is therefore advisable before consumption. The physico-chemical and microbial characters of the sewage water were unworthy. The sewage water recycling is necessary to minimize the water born diseases. |
