Abstract
Ground water samples were collected from different villages of Jaipur district, Rajasthan,
(India). These water samples from 20 sampling points of Jaipur were analysed for their
physicochemical characteristics. The water quality was analysed by pH, temperature, turbidity,
Chloride, Sulphate, Fluoride, Alkalinity, Electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids
(TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD). The results were compared
with the results against drinking water quality standards laid by World Health Organization
WHO (1993). For the statistical analysis, values of mean, standard deviations and correlation
co-efficients (r) were also calculated for these water quality characteristics.
Conductivity of the different samples has been measured using alkalinity (TA). COD is determined by using reflux condenser,
a conductivity meter by electrometric method. Winkler method ferroin indicator and titrating the sample with ferrous ammonium
was used for the determination of dissolved oxygen in water sulphate. Determination of fluoride is done by SPADNS method.
