Experimental Analysis of Physical Parameters in Treated Water

Iffat R. Arisa

Abstract


During the first phase, the surface water treatment plant at Saidabad treats 225 million liters of water per day. In the treated water, turbidity, color, total coliform, fecal coliform, and hardness are reduced; on the other hand, conductivity and total dissolved solids increase. In the wet season, turbidity is high due to relatively coarse particle dispersions in river water. All other parameters, such as, color, total and fecal coliform, hardness, conductivity, total dissolved solids are reduced in the wet season because of the dilution in rainwater. In the dry season, water quality is deteriorated due to pollution from industrial and municipal wastes, all parameters become high in raw water, so high doses of chlorine are required for water treatment. After water treatment, drinking water standard values are achieved for all these quality parameters.
