 WASTE WATER

• DOMESTIC WASTE WATER

• AGRICULTURE WASTE WATER
 TESTING OF PH
•Freshwater pH varies across the world depending on weather patterns, human activity, and
natural processes.
•Water with a very low or high pH can be a sign of chemical or heavy metal pollution.
•Water that doesn’t fall in the “safe” pH range of 6.5 to 8.5, particularly if it’s alkaline, isn’t
necessarily unsafe. However, very alkaline water can have an unpleasant smell or taste, and it
can also damage pipes and water-carrying appliances.
•Acidic water with a pH of less than 6.5 is more likely to be contaminated with pollutants,
making it unsafe to drink. It can also corrode (dissolve) metal pipes.
•Many municipal water suppliers voluntarily test the pH of their water to monitor for
pollutants, which may be indicated by a changing pH. When pollutants are present, water
companies treat their water to make it safe to drink again.
 COMMON WATER PH
VALUE

TYPE OF WATER PH LEVEL

• Tap waterVaries • 7.5
• Distilled reverse osmosis water
• 5-7
• Common bottled waters
• 6.5-7.5
• Bottled waters labeled as
alkaline • 8-9
• Ocean water • 8
• Acid rain
• 5-6.5
 TESTING OF
CONDUCTIVITY

TYPE OF WATER CONDUCTIVITY

• Distilled water • 0.5-3.0
• Melted snow • 2-42
• Potable water • 30-1500
• Irrigation supply water • <750
• Drinking water • 200-800
• Rain water • 2-100
 Conductivity of Water

• The conductivity of water is a measure of the

capability of water to pass electrical flow. This
ability directly depends on the concentration of
conductive ions in the water. These conductive ions
originated due to inorganic materials such as
chlorides, alkalis, carbonate and sulphide
compounds and dissolved salts. In this article, let’s
study the conductivity of water.
 ACIDITY

TYPE OF WATER ACIDITY

• PURE WATER • 7
• WASTE WATER • 2-3
 ph value is safe for drinking
water
• pH isn’t a quality that falls under EPA regulation
because it’s considered an aesthetic quality of
water. However, the agency recommends that
municipal drinking water suppliers keep their water
supply at a pH of 6.5 to 8.5.
Ph value is unsafe for drinking
water
• Water with a very low or high pH can be a sign of chemical or heavy metal
pollution.
• Water that doesn’t fall in the “safe” pH range of 6.5 to 8.5, particularly if it’s
alkaline, isn’t necessarily unsafe. However, very alkaline water can have an
unpleasant smell or taste, and it can also damage pipes and water-carrying
appliances.
• Acidic water with a pH of less than 6.5 is more likely to be contaminated with
pollutants, making it unsafe to drink. It can also corrode (dissolve) metal pipes.
• Many municipal water suppliers voluntarily test the pH of their water to monitor
for pollutants, which may be indicated by a changing pH. When pollutants are
present, water companies treat their water to make it safe to drink again.
 BOD PROCESS

• The determination of the Biochemical Oxygen Demand or

Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) evaluates the amount of
biodegradable organic material present in wastewater, effluent
and polluted waters. The BOD test reflects the amount of
dissolved oxygen (DO) consumed by bacteria while oxidizing
these materials. Dissolved oxygen is essential for the life of
aquatic fauna and flora, and the BOD test is a measure of the
ecological impact that effluent water may have on the
receiving body of water (river, lake, etc.). This test is often
required in discharge permits, as it is a means of assessing the
degree of water pollution.
 COD PROCESS

• The chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a measure

of water and wastewater quality. The COD test is
often used to monitor water treatment plant
efficiency. This test is based on the fact that a
strong oxidizing agent, under acidic conditions, can
fully oxidize almost any organic compound to
carbon dioxide. The COD is the amount of oxygen
consumed to chemically oxidize organic water
contaminants to inorganic end products.
 Dissolved oxygen in water

• Dissolved oxygen refers to the level of free, non-

compound oxygen present in water or other liquids.
It is an important parameter in assessing water
quality because of its influence on the organisms
living within a body of water. In limnology (the
study of lakes), dissolved oxygen is an essential
factor second only to water itself ¹.  A dissolved
oxygen level that is too high or too low can harm
aquatic life and affect water quality.
