So the maintenance dissolved ions exist in the water. Greater the of the quality of water is the first step to put concentration of dissolved solid, greater the forward. Water comprises of marine, freshwater, conductivity of water. estuarine, ground water etc., Healthy environment and the type of land use makes the 1.1.2 Total hardness – Calcium water quality to be rich. Water quality can be &Magnesium measured through many methods which includes Total hardness is simply the equivalent of the biological, physical, radioactive, aesthic calcium and magnesium hardness. It is the properties. Hence this paper flashes about the measurement of mineral content in water. quality of water. Hardness in water is not that harmful to human. Keywords: Still it should be considered in the level of industrial scale. Water quality, physical & chemical properties, effective land use. 1.1.3 Chloride, Alkalinity 1. INTRODUCTION Chlorine is one the most commonly found anion in the water. It often combines with the calcium, 1.1 Water Quality magnesium or sodium. Although the chlorine is less harmful, it still gives the unpleasant tastes to Water quality is closely linked with the the water, and damages the flora vegetation.
