Determination of Physicochemical Proprieties of MATATEEB Village's Drinking Water in North delta Locality- Kassala State- Eastern Sudan

الملخص

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the
physicochemical proprieties of MATATEEB Village's drinking water, in north
delta Locality, Kassala State, Eastern Sudan, and to match the results with
Sudanese and WHO standards for drinking water quality. Fresh water samples
were taken from the main sources of Hopper surface water and underground
water, during the period from January till Marc 2018. The analysis was done at
Kassala drinking water Authority and General Health laboratories. Parameters
measured includes: Color, Taste, Smell, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity EC,
Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), pH, Total Hardness, Carbonate, Bicarbonate,
Ammonia, Ammonium, Nitrite and Nitrate. The physical analysis presents that
this water is colorless of a good taste and smell, the mean average values were
varied from 217.70 to 3.5) NTU for Turbidity, 206 to 418 µS/cm for EC, for
pH is 7.9, for Total Hardness were 215.50 to 367.80 mg/L, and for TDS were
228.9 to 697.13 mg/L, for Hopper surface water and underground water
respectively. The chemical analysis show that , the mean average values for (
Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Ammonia, Ammonium, Nitrite and Nitrate)
concentrations for Hopper surface water and underground water respectively in
mg/L are : [(321.50 to 692.60), (0.86 to 0.43), (0.94 to 0.45), (1.74 to 0.02) ,
and (18.03 to 42.60)]. The analysis proved that, all measured parameters come
of regular properties that are accepted by (WHO) and Sudanese standard
guideline, except Turbidity of Hopper surface water , which was found out of
acceptable limits of WHO. In spite of this the water is regarded as drinkable
and almost it suitable for domestic and agricultural use, MATATEEB Village's
drinking water show good properties.
