Physico-chemical assessment of ground water quality of some areas of Imphal east and Imphal west districts of Manipur during pre-monsoon-2nd phase

Abstract

Twelve (12) ground water samples were collected from hand pumps of different locations of Imphal East and Imphal West districts during pre-monsoon of 2014 and they were analysed for various physico-chemical parameters – temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), TDS (total dissolved solids), total alkalinity (TA), CO3 2-, HCO3 -, total hardness (TH), Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+ and Cl-. Only the ground waters represented by S-4 (Khonghampat Mantri Leikai), S-7 (Maharabi Loushaang) and S-11 (Neikanlong Cheirao Chingkhong, Thangmeiband) of Imphal West district are found to be fit for drinking from physico-chemical analyses point of view. But remaining ground waters represented by S-1 to S-3, S-5 to S-6, S-8 to S-10 and S-12 are unfit for drinking purpose as some of their parameters like TDS (total dissolved solids), total alkalinity (TA) and Mg2+ are present beyond corresponding desirable limits of BIS standards for drinking water. So, some suitable treatments are necessary so as keep the values of these parameters within the desirable limits of BIS standards so as to make fit the above mentioned ground waters for drinking purpose. However all the ground waters (S-1 to S-12) are fit for other domestic and irrigation purposes. Further, strong positive correlations exist among the parameters such as TDS, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, Mg2+, Ca2+, Na+ and HCO3 -
