Electrical conductivity is the measure of the capacity of water to conduct electricity.  Electrical Conductivity is one of the important parameters of the quality of water apart from health concern, it also indicate the likely source of water or environment and possible useful information about the structure of underground water. Sources of electrical conductivity is the environment. Implications of  Electrical conductivity Electrical conductivity of water indicates the following 1. The nature of the water, fresh or saline water 2. The origin of the water Health concern When the electrical conductivity of water exceed about 370S/cm3 1. It will results in disturbance of water and salt balance in children. 2. Increase blood pressure of heart patients and renal patients. 3. Laxative effect when sulphate concentration is high 4. Cannot effectively quench your thirst The problem of high Electrical conductivity can treated through the following treatment method ...

TURBIDITY OF WATER Turbidity is one of the indicator parameters of water that gives an insight into the quality of water, a turbid water will always be undesirable and it is one of the major problem of water and water treatment. What is Turbidity? Scientifically turbidity is the measurement of relative clarity of a liquid. Turbidity is the amount of cloudiness in water. Turbidity of water is caused by suspended or dissolved particles in water; these particles can include clay, silt, fine organic and inorganic matters, algae and other micro organisms. Turbidity of water as an important factor in determining the quality of water has a specification set by World Health Organization[ WHO ] for drinking water, although most water treatment plants strive to achieve as low as 0NTU, but  WHO  and EPA  stated that for drinking water the turbidity should ideally be below 1NTU and should not exceed 5NTU. The unit of turbidity is NTU, although there are other units such as ...
