  • Abstract:
  • Water is a vital component for all living organisms. Water quality guidelines establish permissible limits for various parameters concerning drinking water. Regular monitoring of drinking water quality is essential, as the consumption of contaminated water can lead to a range of waterborne diseases affecting the human population. Access to high-quality water is crucial for disease prevention and enhancing overall quality of life. Key physico-chemical parameters used to assess water quality include color, temperature, hardness, turbidity, pH, sulfate, chloride, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Additionally, heavy metals such as lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), and mercury (Hg) pose significant risks of chronic poisoning in aquatic life. This paper highlights the importance of monitoring parameters such as temperature, turbidity, pH, and dissolved oxygen in drinking water and their potential negative impacts. The World Health Organization (WHO) outlines numerous drinking water quality parameters, providing guidelines that allow for the comparison of actual water samples to determine their quality.
