Abstract

The present study aims to determine the quality parameters of drinking water of rural Tharparkar i.e., Diplo area. The quality parameters examined in water samples were pH, TDS, and EC. A total of 20 samples were collected randomly from different sources of drinking water (dug well and hand pump water) from Diplo Sub District of Tharparkar. Results showed that water samples of hand pump source have elevated quality parameters (i.e., pH range was 5.7-6.0 and TDS range was 1579-2120mg/L) as compared to well water samples (i.e., pH range was 5.09-6.60 and TDS range was 497-1182mg/L). Therefore, it is concluded that as per guidelines of WHO and EPA, water from well sources is somehow good to ensure well-being of human population residing in the area. While water from the hand pump source is loaded with high TDS and EC (greater than WHO limit). The aforementioned parameter is highly linked with EC as well as pH. It is directly proportional to the conductivity and inversely proportional to the pH. Further, studies need to be conducted in this measure to evaluate quality of drinking water in rural areas of Sindh province.

信德省Diplo地区地下饮用水水质参数评价

本研究旨在确定农村饮用水的质量参数，即Diplo地区。检测水样的质量参数为pH、TDS和EC。从Tharparkar Diplo街道的不同饮用水来源(挖井和手泵水)随机收集了总共20个样本。结果表明，手泵源水样的水质参数(pH范围为5.7 ~ 6.0,TDS范围为1579 ~ 2120mg/L)高于井水(pH范围为5.09 ~ 6.60,TDS范围为497 ~ 1182mg/L)。因此，根据世卫组织和环境保护署的准则得出的结论是，井水在某种程度上对确保居住在该地区的人口的福祉是有益的。而来自手泵源的水则含有高TDS和EC(高于世卫组织限值)。上述参数与EC和ph高度相关。它与电导率成正比，与ph成反比。进一步，需要对信德省农村地区的饮用水质量进行研究。
