Study on Physicochemical Properties of Water of Bamgaon Village, Assam

Water resources are most important part of the natural ecosystem and potentially influence agriculture, industry and life. The modernization, industrialization and necessity to ease life has affected the water resources polluting it to high extent. Thus, continuous evaluation of physicochemical parameters of water bodies is utmost necessary to check on water quality for drinking and other purposes. The study on physicochemical characteristics of different water sources in the Bamgaon region has been studied to understand the quality of drinking water; specifically focusing on Bamgaon PWSS raw and filtered water, as well as hand tube-well water. By analyzing key water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, hardness, fluoride, calcium, iron, arsenic, sulfur, magnesium, and alkalinity, the study aims to determine the suitability of these water sources for various domestic purposes. This analysis helps in identifying any potential health risks associated with water consumption and provides a scientific basis for recommending appropriate treatment or intervention measures.
