Physicochemical Assessment of Potable Water Sources of Colleges of Patna, Bihar

Abstract The aim of this research was to assess physiochemical analysis of potable water sources of colleges of Patna,Bihar (India) . A total of 15 samples were analyzed for parameters including, pH,turbidity,conductivity,(TDS),calcium,magnesium, cloride,alkalinity,fluoride,nitrate, sulphate and heavy metals including Fe and As, following APHA (2017) methods between January, 2025 to Febuary,2025. The findings obtained for each parameters were compared with the standard values established by the (WHO) ,(BIS) (IS:10500:2012). The values of each parameter were found to be within the safe limits set ,while samples 1 and 4, which were collected from B.D.College and Patliputra University, respectively, showed somewhat higher conductivity, TDS, hardness, and alkalinity values ,indicating mineral contamination and anthropogenic influence. Samples 1 and 4 had 982.50 and 1046.00 µS/cm conductivity and 678 and 638 mg/L TDS, respectively slightly higher alkalinity levels (342 mg/L and 372 mg/L) and 400 mg/L (sample 1) and 364mg/L (sample 3B ) hardness. Although these values exceeded the ideal limits, they remained below the permissible levels, indicating that the water is still safe for drinking.To evaluate the total water quality of colleges of Patna, it is necessary to look into various possible water contaminants, including chemicals,microbiological and radioactive pollutants, and fluids of the human body over an extended period of time.
