Abstract

Nidhi Jain

The present study was aimed at assessing the Physico-chemical parameters viz., temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), pH, turbidity, Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO); Chloride, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Total Iron, BOD, COD, Oil, and Grease at in Alard College Campus, situated in Hinjewadi, Pune. The aim of the work under the title is to analyze the College Campus water outlet, by dividing it into various sampling station. Water quality in the study area was found to have high value of pH, EC, TDS. A systematic correlation in this study showed that there was a significant linear relationship among different pairs of water quality parameters. It was concluded that the TDS, EC and pH are important physicochemical parameters of water quality and are correlated with most of the other parameters. The present study also identifies the critical pollutants affecting the campus water quality.
