Chemical Parameters of the Drinking Water A Review

Abhishek Yadav, Pradeep Yadav, Dr. Praveen Yadav

Abstract


Water is a valuable natural resource that benefits all living things, natural systems, human health, food production, and economic growth. However, it is becoming increasingly polluted due to rapid population growth, industrialization, and human activities. River water is now turned into wastewater due to garbage removal. Water supply integrity is crucial for maintaining good health, but a variety of pollutants, both chemical and microbiological, can compromise drinking water quality and make it unsafe to consume. Access to clean water is essential for fighting diseases and improving personal satisfaction. This review paper discusses various physicochemical parameters, such as pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, turbidity, BOD, COD, total alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, phosphate, and DO , that are relevant to understanding water quality.
