QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS & TREATMENT FOR DRINKING WATER IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES OF GONDIA BLOCK
S R Asati and Y H Choudhari

Twenty One Educational Institutes of Gondia Block were visited throughout the year to collect the drinking water samples. The different parameters such as dissolved oxygen, total solids, chlorides, hardness, alkalinity, temperature and pH were tested in the Laboratory of M.I.E.T., Gondia (M.S.). All the parameters were compared with the standards of drinking water as per ICMR & WHO. After the analysis of season wise, it is found that nearly all the parameters are within the permissible limit except the hardness in some water samples. The samples having more hardness are nearly permissible limit in bore wells water, and increase in hardness is mainly due to the location of these bore wells in rocky area. To remove the level of hardness to the permissible limit, a pilot treatment unit (lime soda process) is proposed which is economical & affordable to the institutes. The quantity of lime soda required per year & the capital cost of the installment of this process have been calculated.
