Evaluation of Physicochemical Characteristics of Water Sources in Dawana Odgi Area, Surajpur, Chhattisgarh
Document Abstract
Evaluation of the physicochemical characteristics of water is essential to understand its quality and
suitability for various purposes. This study focused on the evaluation of physicochemical properties of
water taken from Dawana Odgi source in Surajpur, Chhattisgarh. Multiple water samples were collected
and analyzed for various parameters including pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total
dissolved solids (TDS), and concentrations of major ions. In our research, we took water samples from
this source at three different depths and studied its physico-chemical properties like pH value, EC and
TDS values for the presence of dissolved salts and minerals. The concentrations of major ions such as
calcium, magnesium, iron and chloride were determined and compared with relevant standards, which
can provide information about the composition of the water.Additionally, the study assessed the
presence of heavy metals and organic pollutants in water samples. Overall, this study contributes to
understanding the physicochemical characteristics of water taken from Dawana Odgi source in Surajpur,
Chhattisgarh. The results underline the importance of implementing appropriate water treatment and
management strategies to ensure the provision of safe and clean water to the local community. Further
research is recommended to identify potential sources of contamination and develop effective mitigation
measures to improve water quality in the area.
