Physicochemical investigation of some primitive water sources in district Champawat for potability and preservation of historical aesthetics, Uttarakhand, India

The present study deals with the assessment of physicochemical properties spring water samples collected from surroundings Champawat city, Uttarakhand, India. total twenty-three parameters were analysed for including pH, dissolved solids (TDS) (mg/L), electrical conductance (EC) (µS/cm), temperature (T) (°C), oxygen (DO) chloride (Cl- ) and uranium (U) (µg/L). seasonal variation was also observed in these samples. In hills, has been common source public supply ancient times, therefore this includes springs that have survived distant past being used drinking purpose at earlier time. However, time, quality sources depleted due to both natural anthropogenic reasons such an extent two are not use any more. analysis shown pH ranged 6.74 - 7.77, highest values TDS nitrate (NO3 be 500 mg/L 39.1 respectively. This can help determine state sources, which as alternative time crisis, maintaining historical example sustainable development preservation aesthetics.
