Assessment of Drinking Water Quality through Physico-Chemical Indicators: A Case Study of Supebeda(Deobhog), Gariyaband (Chhattisgarh)

Abstract Water is an essential resource for all life forms and a critical component for ecological balance. The present study evaluates the physico-chemical characteristics of drinking water in Supebeda village, located in Gariyaband district of Chhattisgarh, which has reported a significant number of kidney-related ailments in recent years. To determine water quality, samples were collected from borewells and handpumps across two sites using the grab sampling method. These samples were tested for parameters such as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Hardness (TH), Permanent Hardness (PH), Temporary Hardness (TempH), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Solids (TS) using standard analytical techniques recommended by APHA.
The analysis revealed that while most parameters like pH, EC, TH, TDS, and TS were within the permissible limits set by WHO and BIS, carbon dioxide levels exceeded the safe limits in certain samples. The pH values ranged from 6.34 to 8.4, indicating slightly acidic to moderately alkaline conditions. Electrical conductivity was highest at 1575 µS/cm and lowest at 357 µS/cm. Notably, high levels of hardness and dissolved solids were observed in a few locations, which may contribute to the growing health issues in the region.
These findings suggest that while the majority of the water sources in Supebeda are suitable for consumption, excess CO₂ and hardness in some samples could pose long-term health risks. The study highlights the urgent need for regular monitoring, community awareness, and effective water treatment solutions to ensure the safety and sustainability of drinking water resources in the area.
