Taste Quality of Mineralized Water

Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine mineral content levels in drinking water as they affect the taste. Based on test results, a grading schedule is offered which codifies water taste acceptability as a factor of mineral content.

Physicochemical Analysis of Groundwater Samples of Bichi Local Government Area of Kano State of Nigeria

“…Water for human consumption must be free from organisms and chemical substances in concentration large enough to affect health. ( Bruvold & Ongerth 1969;APHA, 1995;WSC, 2007;Brian 2007) .…”

“…(Oteze, 1993) A number of chemical contaminants have been shown to cause adverse health effects in humans as a consequence of prolonged exposure through drinking-water from various sources. (Bruvold & Ongerth 1969;Oteze, 1993;APHA, 1995) The objective of this study is to evaluate some of the parameters that can cause contamination and in what concentration if present and comparing it with set standards of World Health Organization and Standard Organization of Nigeria.…”

Analysis of Physio-Chemical Properties of Water Samples in Adekunle Ajasin University Community, Nigeria

“…Finally, electrical conductivity of water is a direct function of its total dissolved salts. Hence it is an index to represent the total concentration of soluble salts in water (Bruvold and Ongerth 1969;Wright et al, 2004). It was observed that chloride value in all the water samples analysed meet the prescribed value of chloride by WHO (2103) and USEPA (2013) for drinking water apart the one from AKWA, IGBELU, OKUSA and IBAKA(well water), GRASLAND borehole, AKUNMI borehole, AAUA sachet, NKAG sachet ABATA and ADEFARATI streams water that were all above the standard values.…”
