Physico-chemical water quality in Ghana: Prospects for water supply technology implementation

Heavy metal levels and physico--chemical quality of potable water supply in Warri, Nigeria.

The interaction between man's activities and the environment is gaining world wide attention. Warri an oil producing community in Delta State of Nigeria is faced with environmental oil pollution. Since open and underground water bodies are regarded as final recipients of most environmental pollutants, this study sought to provide data on the levels of the physico-chemical parameters and contami...

Explorer Chemical drinking water quality in Ghana : Water costs and scope for advanced treatment

Chemical drinking water quality in Ghana: water costs and scope for advanced treatment.

To reduce child mortality and improve health in Ghana boreholes and wells are being installed across the country by the private sector, NGO's and the Ghanaian government. Water quality is not generally monitored once a water source has been improved. Water supplies were sampled across Ghana from mostly boreholes, wells and rivers as well as some piped water from the different regions and analys...

Assessment of Birjand flood plain water quality by physico-chemical parameters analysis in Iran

We assessed the physico-chemical status of twelve surface water samples from the Birjand flood plain (east of Iran) during fall 2010. The sampling points were selected on the basis of their importance. The physico-chemical parameters such as pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+ ), sodium (Na+), pota...

Evaluation of microbial and physico-chemical quality of bottled water produced in Hamadan province of Iran

Introduction: The increasing of population and limited drinking water resources has enhanced the necessity of using bottled water. Many people are now using bottled water because they believe it is a healthful alternative beverage to soft drinks or other bottled beverages. Therefore, the bottled water industry has grown immensely during the past decades. This descriptive cross-sectional study h...
