Consequence of Temperature, pH, Turbidity and

Dissolved Oxygen Water Quality Parameters

Abstract: Water is an important constituent for all the living beings. The water quality guidelines provide a limit value
for each parameter for drinking water. It is necessary that the quality of drinking water should be checked at regular
time interval, because due to use of contaminated drinking water, human population suffers from varied of water borne
diseases. The availability of good quality water is a necessary feature for preventing diseases and improving quality of
life. The different physico-chemical parameters are color, temperature, hardness, turbidity, pH, sulphate, chloride,
dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) etc. used for testing of
water quality. Heavy metals like Pb, Cr, Fe, Hg etc. are of special concern or chronic poisoning in aquatic animals. This
paper summarized the importance of monitoring temperature, turbidity, pH and dissolved oxygen parameters of
drinking water and its adverse effect. A lot of drinking water quality parameters are described by world health
organization (WHO). It gives the guidelines of parameters for comparing the value of real water sample from that we
can decide the quality of water.

Keywords: Drinking water, Parameters, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, pH.
