Abstract

The aim of study was to evaluate physico-chemical parameters and total content of metals in drinking water of district Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Pakistan. 197 (n = 3) surface (canals, rivers) and ground water (tube well, pressure pump, hand pump) samples were collected from 49 different union councils (UC) of district Bannu. Twenty-two (22) physico chemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Hardness, Salinity, Alkalinity, SO₄⁻², Cl⁻¹, NO₃⁻,PO₄⁻³, Na, K, Li, Ca, Mg, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn were determined. In the study, statistical techniques PCA and CA were used to measure variations in water quality. The understudy samples showed significantly higher values of TDS and EC than WHO permissible limits which may greatly influence the health conditions of the residents of this area.

巴基斯坦班努地区饮用水水质参数评价:多变量研究

研究的目的是评价巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图哈瓦省班努地区饮用水的物理化学参数和金属总含量。从班努地区49个不同的联邦委员会(UC)收集了197个(n = 3)地表水(运河、河流)和地下水(管井、压力泵、手泵)样本。测定了22个理化参数，如pH、EC、TDS、硬度、盐度、碱度、SO4−2、Cl−1、NO3−、PO4−3、Na、K、Li、Ca、Mg、Ba、Cu、Fe、Mn、Ni和Zn。在研究中，统计技术PCA和CA用于测量水质的变化。备选样本的TDS和EC值明显高于WHO允许限值，可能对该地区居民的健康状况产生重大影响。
