“…The 'standards' (standard values of various parameters) for the drinking water used in this study are those recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Government of Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards recommended for drinking water quality were employed [22,23]. A WQI was calculated using previously used methods [16,18,19]. The WQI calculations include three successive steps.…”

“…The WQI has been widely used to characterize both groundwater and surface water in terms of suitability for irrigation and drinking [10,[14][15][16][17]. There are several different methods used to calculate a WQI, based on the intended use [15,18,19]. Some studies have incorporated geographical information system (GIS) methods to effectively present the WQI data [18,20,21].…”

Primary school children in the developing world often lack potable water, which may result in a high burden of water-related diseases and poor school performance. The present study aimed to characterize the drinking water quality in primary schools of Pakistan. We used a multistage random-sampling method to select 425 primary schools from selected districts of Sindh province. Standard methods were used to characterize water quality. The results were compared with maximum acceptable values recommended by the Pakistani National Environmental Quality Standards (Pak NEQS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water quality standards. Groundwater (62%) and surface water (38%) were identified as two major drinking water sources in the selected schools with varying levels of water quality. Among all parameters, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and nitrate remained within WHO and Pak NEQS water quality standard limit, while total dissolved solids (TDS) (33%), electrical conductivity (EC) (46%), chloride (34%), turbidity (27%), and hardness (11%) samples exceeded standard limits. All dissolved salts had moderate to strong positive correlations with TDS and EC values. Based on a water quality index (WQI), 74% of primary schools had access to excellent or good quality drinking water compared to 26% of schools that had access to either poor, very poor or unsuitable drinking water. Among all three regions, more schools from South Sindh had either poor, very poor or unsuitable drinking water (33%) compared to the Central (25%) and North zones (15%). Hence, water from these locations is unfit for human consumption and these schools need better water quality management plans to stop the spread of water-related diseases in primary school children.

“…WQI was calculated using the World Health Organization standards [2] and Indian Standards [3] in the following steps. Water quality index method for groundwater quality assessment is widely used around the world for assessment & management of groundwater [ 4 – 7 ]. The WQI calculation was carried out using a weighted arithmetic index as shown below [ 9 , 10 ].…”

The main focus of this study is to evaluate the groundwater quality through drinking water quality index and regression analysis in semi-arid region and the results are examined with reference to the drinking water quality standards laid down by WHO. Water quality index (WQI) was determined from fourteen physicochemical parameters like pH, EC, TDS, total hardness, total alkalinity, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bromide, nitrate, sulphate and fluoride. The drinking water quality index values range from 32.8 - 442.4, indicating three categories i.e. poor, very poor and unfit, which are inappropriate for drinking. Regarding correlation analysis results, EC, TDS, TH, Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ and Cl − shows high correlation. Most of the parameters are more or less correlated with each other, regression relations have the same correlation coefficients and pH, Na + , EC, TDS, Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Cl − , SO 4 2− , CO 3 2− , TH were significantly positively correlated (R>0.9), indicate the increase in the pollution load.

“…The other sites are prone to anthropocentric activities, creating the possibility of contamination of drinking water sources. Many other researchers also applied water quality index for different water resources like lake water (Sidi et al 2019), groundwater (Abbasnia et al 2018;Fayyadh et al 2019;Adimalla 2019;Suvarna et al 2020), dam water (Arab et al 2019 to categorize the suitability of water for different purposes.…”

Assessment of potability of spring water and its health implication in a hilly village of Uttarakhand, India

Water quality assessment of different sources of water in a village was carried out by taking selected significant parameters, namely temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), free carbon dioxide (free CO 2 ), alkalinity, hardness, calcium, phosphate, nitrate, chloride and coliform count. All these parameters were analyzed as per the standard protocol of American Public Health Association. Further, seven parameters (pH, TDS, alkalinity, hardness, calcium, nitrates and chloride) were used to calculate water quality index for assessing overall drinking water status of sampling sites. A survey of health status of population of the village was also conducted with the help of questionnaire and interview method to draw the relationship of water quality and health. All selected physicochemical parameters were found under prescribed limits as stated by Indian Standard 10500 and Central Pollution Control Board guidelines. The values for most probable number count were found above the permissible limit of drinking water indicating contamination of coliform at all sites. Further, water quality index for SN1, SN2, SN3, SN4 and SN5 was 17.61, 30.11, 69.73, 25.60 and 47.15, respectively. As per the water quality index, the water samples of natural springs which were away from village were classified under 'excellent' category as compared to supply water samples. The result of survey recorded 38% population suffered from dysentery, 23% from diarrhea and 17% from typhoid. The report of the survey and the presence of coliform suggest that drinking water contamination is leading to waterborne diseases like cholera, dysentery and typhoid. It is also suggested that water quality of all sites except SN3 was suitable for drinking purpose, but disinfection of coliform before use is warranted.
