Estimation of heavy metals (As/Cr/Cd) and various water quality assurance parameters of groundwater samples obtained from Jageer Katkair, Muzaffarabad

The article presents a summary of the key findings from significant physicochemical parameters of drinking water, particularly screening for heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms for Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir. The drinking water quality is determined using the drinking water quality index (DWQI), which is based on turbidity, EC, Ca+2, and Mg+2. In Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir, drinking water security is significantly damaged continuously due to unsettling population growth and hasty waste sludge. In Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir, about 8% of the entire population has access to secured drinking water. Leading to a shortage of resources for safe and healthy drinking water, the residual 92 % is compelled to use contaminated water. Microbial contamination, turbidity, electrical conductivity, and hardness are the main sources of contamination since they are often released into water system supplies. About 60 to 70 percent of all malignancies are attributable to anthropogenic exercise-induced bone ailments. This study focused on the drinking water quality, sources of contamination, and water control methods in Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir. To confront the depressing water contamination stats of Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir, there is an immediate commitment to implement preventative measures and treatment technologies.
