Abstract:

Water quality is a term used here to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses or processes. Earth's water resources, including rivers, lakes, oceans, and underground aquifers, are under stress in many regions. Humans need water for drinking, sanitation, agriculture, and industry; and contaminated water can spread illnesses and disease vectors, so clean water quality is both an environmental and a public health issue. Providing safe drinking water is one of the greatest public health challenges facing national governments today. The water sample is collected and tested on rural area of three districts in Mizoram State to study of water quality, India using standard methods. A study has been made to investigate the present of physical parameters (pH, turbidity etc.), inorganic or chemical (Hardness, Calcium, alkalinity etc.) and Toxic metals (arsenic, iron etc.) of water on the villages water source. It has been found that pH value is in the normal range in case of spring water; meanwhile the reservoir water has pH value less than the permissible limits. Correlation analysis on the parameters of water analysis is also shown.
