Abstract
Water resources have been the most exploited natural system since the world begun and it is used for domestic, agricultural activities and industrial purpose. Water intended for human consumption must conform to standard magnitude of physicochemical parameters such as pH, hardness, conductivity and turbidity. The increase in concentration for iron and manganese case change in the taste of water and sometimes effect on the human health. In the present study, some physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, fluoride, Iron and Manganese were analyzed using standard methods. The results expressed that the pH was in minimum limits. Fluoride concentrations in the study area were very low. Iron (0.281) and Manganese (0.963) was found above the limit before treatment, whereas after treatment by Oxidizing agent and chlorination, the level of Fe and Mn reduced. Water quality in the area should be analyzed continuously due to potential risk of pollution. Study shows that the treatment surface water by Treatment by KMnO4 and Oxidizing agent are the best method of removal of removal of some divalent elements in Surface water.
