Abstract

Our earth is composed of five different elements named air, water, fire, earth, and space. Most of the resources which have been supporting our lives, directly and indirectly, are now polluted due to various human activities which are resulted due to various societal advancements like rapid industrialization, population, etc. to name a few. Among all these, the pollution which has taken place due to these activities in turn has received notable research cognizance. The quality of water is judged by different parameters namely, physical, chemical, and biological. This study deals with the determination of the quality of water from two different point sources (industrial sewage (referred to as point source 1), and domestic sewage (referred to as point source 2)) through the determination of water quality indicators. The various quality indicators adopted in this study dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), sulphates, chlorides, phosphates, total solid (TS), total soluble solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The result obtained from these experiments was thought-provoking and indicated that the quality of the water specimens used in this study was far below the standards. The possible cause might be due to the various activities detailed earlier. The authors truly believe that this present scheme of work will be helpful to a spectrum of stakeholders which will indeed be helpful for decision-making by various national and international agencies. 


Keywords
