3.3 WATER QUALITY MONITORING

3.3.1 Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Locations

Keeping in view the importance of Drinking Water as an important source of drinking water to the local population, sample of Drinking water was collected from the project site for the assessment of impacts of the project on the Drinking water quality.

Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various parameters to compare with the standards for drinking water as per IS: 10500 for Drinking water sources. The details of water sampling locations are given in Table 3.6.

3.3.2 Methodology of Drinking Water Quality Monitoring

Sampling of Drinking water was carried out on April 2015. Samples were collected as grab sample and sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative sample were properly added to preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured for appropriate temperatures. Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys. Sample collected for metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological analysis was collected in sterilized glass bottles.

Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they were transported by road to Vardan Enviro Lab, Gurgaon for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. All the samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for different parameters. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.

The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The analytical techniques and the test methods adopted for testing of Drinking water are given in Table 3.7.
