6. Aims and Objectives

7.  To collect water samples from different parts of
Nothia Jadeed and investigate their physical and
chemical parameters
 For the assessment of their suitability for drinking
purpose.
 To create awareness in the concerned community.
 To compare the results with WHO standards.

8. Experimental

9. Classical Titrimetric Methods
 Calcium (Ca+)
 Magnesium (Mg+)
 Chloride (Cl-)
 Sulphate (SO4
-2)

10. Gravimetric Methods
 Total Dissolved Solids
 Total Suspended Solids

11. Spectrophotometric Techniques
 Nitrates (NO3
-)
 Nitrites (NO2
-)

12. Flame Photometric Technique
 Sodium (Na+)
 Potassium (K+)

14.  It was seen that the physical
characteristics of drinking water of
Nothia Jadeed such as color, odor,
taste, TDS, TSM etc. were well within
the permissible limits compared with
WHO standards.
 Similarly, all the chemical water quality
parameter such as sodium ion,
potassium ion, calcium hardness,
magnesium hardness, chloride ion and
sulphates were found to be with in
permissible limits of WHO.
 Moreover, all samples were free from
Nitrates and Nitrites.

15. Conclusion
All the drinking water of Nothia Jadeed is
hygienically safe in terms of physical and
chemical parameters.
