Several parameters including temperature, pH, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, chloride, total alkalinity, turbidity, EC, TDS, sulphates, iron, fluoride, and nitrate have been tested. WQI studies suggest that water is not suitable for direct consumption.The parameters determined have been compared with the permissible limits suggested by WHO and BIS.
