STUDY THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF WATER TAKEN FROM TATTAPANI SOURCE, NAWADIH, BALRAMPUR DISTRICT OF CHHATTISGARH.

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the physico-chemical properties of water collected from the Tattapani source in Nawadih, Balrampur district of Chhattisgarh. The physico-chemical characterization of water is essential for understanding its quality and suitability for various purposes. Water samples will be collected from multiple locations in Tattapani and analyzed for parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, major ions (e.g., calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium), heavy metals, microbial load, coliform bacteria, nitrates, phosphates, organic matter content, biochemical oxygen demand, pesticides, herbicides, water hardness, and alkalinity. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights into the overall quality of water from the Tattapani source. The results will help assess potential risks associated with water consumption and determine its suitability for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. This research will contribute to the development of strategies for water management and conservation in the Balrampur district of Chhattisgarh, ensuring the availability of safe and sustainable water resources.
