“…Seasonal changes and sewage leaching also cause variations in nitrite readings and nitrogen compound content. Laafou et al 51 studied the Springs Water in Sebt Jahjouh Area (El-Hajb, Morocco) collected from 9 springs and reported four water samples (S1, S2, S5, and S8) with nitrate concentrations above 50 mg/L, which may have an effect on consumers' health. In contrast, the other ve (S3, S4, S6, S7, and S9) showed water that was suitable for drinking and household use.…”

Out of the 71% water available on the earth surface only 3% is freshwater. Most of the fresh water (96.5%) is locked in the glaciers and only 3.5 % is available for drinking. Due to anthropogenic activities and environmental changes, the drinking water is getting contaminated and the drinking water leads to various diseases. So having a quality water is becoming challenging day by day. Various low-income countries are facing shortage of safe drinking water. In the present study an attempt was made to assess the quality of drinking water from two main sources (Silmoo (Gongma Ranthak Lakha) Spring water and GM Pore handpump water) in the Kargil District, Ladakh UT, India. Total 10 physico-chemical parameters viz. Colour, Taste, Odor, Temperature, pH, Conductivity, Turbidity, Total hardness, Calcium concentration, and Magnesium concentration were assessed as per standards. Most of the parameter of both the water sources were found within the permissible limits as per BIS and WHO. However, we have reported higher magnesium concentration (82.54mg/L) in Silmoo (Gongma Ranthak Lakha) Spring water samples, which is considered good for health, perhaps improving muscular function and lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease.

“…Contaminations of water occur because of a few key factors, i.e., industrial and sewage effluent discharge, agricultural industry, illegal garbage disposal, and leakage of leachate from landfills [ 8 ]. All these, water pollutant mainly consist of heavy metals, microorganisms, fertilizers, and thousands of toxic organic compounds [ 9 ]. Especially, disposal of heavy metals containing wastewater is a major environmental issue since contaminants can ultimately gain access to surface and groundwater [ 1 ] and also gain to human trough by using of these water sources for drinking purpose.…”

Drinking water quality is fundamental to human physiology and health. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of drinking water in Gazer Town and selected kebele, in south Ari district, South Omo zone, Southern Ethiopia. A total of four drinking water samples were collected from densely populated urban areas of the Gazer Town and one rural Kebele. All the collected samples were analyzed for eight heavy metals, (Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) using standard procedures. The results were compared with other national and international standards. Among the analyzed samples, drinking water samples collected from selected kebele (Aynalem kebele), show mean concentrations heavy metals in (μg/L), (Mn (973 ± 10), Cu (1068 ± 1.5), Cr (2785 ± 25), Fe (4302 ± 15), Cd (1218 ± 18), Pb (720 ± 12), Co (1478 ± 3), and Zn (1790 ± 5)), and the results revel except, Co and Zn metals, all show concentrations higher than the national and international standards (such as USEPA (2008), WHO (2011), and New Zealand) recommended values. Among the eight heavy metals analyzed from drinking waters in Gazer Town, Cd and Cr were below the method detection than that of all sampling area. However, the concentration of Mn, Pb, Co, Cu, Fe, and Zn were ranged from mean values of 9 μg/L, 17.6 μg/L, 7.6 μg/L, 12 μg/L, 765 μg/L, and 494 μg/L, respectively. Except Pb metals, the analyzed metals in waters were below the currently recommended guidelines for drinking. Therefore, the government should adopt some treatment technologies such as sedimentation and aeration to minimize the concentration of zinc for safe drinking the water to the community of Gazer Town.
