ANALYSIS OF WATER QUALITY
Abstract
Abstract: Water quality is a critical parameter for assessing the health of aquatic ecosystems, ensuring public health, and supporting economic activities. This study analyzes various indicators of water quality, including physical, chemical, and biological factors, utilizing samples from multiple sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Parameters investigated include pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, nutrient levels (nitrogen and phosphorus), heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. Statistical analyses were conducted to identify trends, correlations, and potential pollution sources impacting water quality. Results indicate significant variations in water quality across different locations, with notable contamination in areas near urban runoff and agricultural activities. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels were elevated in industrial regions, whereas indicators of microbial contamination were widespread, posing risks to public health. The findings underscore the need for regular monitoring and implementation of best management practices to mitigate pollution and protect water resources. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of current water quality conditions and highlights the urgency for collaborative efforts in water management and policy reform to ensure sustainable water usage for future generations.
