摘要：Five samples of home well water from various regions and one sample of water from Kerala Water Authorityof Ernakulam district were collected and assessment of physico-chemical properties was made to seewhether these water sources are satisfying the standards of drinking water. Parameters like pH, electricalconductivity, total dissolved solids, colour, odour, taste, turbidity, total hardness, total alkalinity, biochemicaloxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, calcium, chlorides, magnesium, sulphates, iron and nitrates were analysed.The investigation reveals that with the exception of water sample collected from Kerala Water Authority, allthe home well waters have water quality problems. Therefore, it indicates that all the samples of home wellwaters in the present study are undesirable or otherwise unfit for human consumption.
