Abstract In the present paper, it deals with the various test for water quality for a ten selected samples which is used to conducted study in the laboratory to analysis the quality parameters. The few parameters that may be tested include pH, total hardness, Electrical Conductivity, Total Alkalinity, total dissolved Solids of ten different areas in samalkha.

INTRODUCTION: The analysis of water quality parameters play vital role for determination of various parameters to assess the quality of water for drinking purposes. Now days it is more essentials to study the water and suggest some remedial measures or recommendation to analysis the same. The storm water into the streams is the common causes may also affect aquatic life.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS: In this study the following parameter and their instruments and the methods were used to analysis the various parameters as given below.

HARDNESS TEST Hardness is the property of water, which prevents lather formation with soap and increases the boiling point of water. Hardness of water mainly depends upon the amount of calcium or magnesium salt or both.

PH TEST The term ‘pH’ refers to a number scale that goes from 0 to 14. The scale rates substances according to whether they are more acidic or more basic (alkaline).The neutral point on the scale is 7. Assessment of Water Quality Parameters of Samalkha 239

ALKANITY TEST The alkalinity of a solution is defined as the capacity of its solutes to react with and neutralize acid. The alkalinity in most natural waters is primarily due to the presence of dissolved carbon species, particularly bicarbonate and carbonate. Other constituents that may contribute minor amounts of alkalinity to water include silicate, hydroxide, borates, and certain organic compounds. At present, no suggested limits have been established for alkalinity levels in drinking water. However, some alkalinity may be desirable in ground water because the carbonate ions moderate or prevent changes in pH.

Total Dissolved solids Test (TDS) TDS stands for total dissolved solids, and represents the total concentration of dissolved substances in water. These minerals can originate from a number of sources, both natural and as a result of human activities. Dissolved solids can produce hard water, which leaves deposits and films on fixtures, and on the insides of hot water pipes and boilers. Soaps and detergents do not produce as much lather with hard water as with soft water.

CONCLUSION: In these water samples of different area, the highest TDS value was 1280 mg/l of Bhapra area of Samalkha, which represents the sum of concentrations of all dissolved constituents in a water sample. Total dissolved solids levels may also be influence by ground-water pollution. Ion-exchange processes in clays can also increase TDS. Analysis of all other water sample of different area by different test indicates the water present in ground water is of good quality and drinkable.
