Abstract:

Water is vital resource required by living organisms. The demand for water is increasing with time and this is leading to water scarcity in many parts of the world. Availability of potable drinking water is essential to human health. In Srikakulam district most of the inhabitants are depended on ground water has the major source of drinking water. As this region is close to the sea coast of Bay of Bengal, the differences in the levels of underground water table due to excess withdrawals from wells and bore wells may also cause the intrusion of seawater into the groundwater making non-palatable for drinking.  The present study has been taken up for a period of one year, nearly 300 plus drinking water samples from various mandals in srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh were analysed for chemical quality to establish its pot ability  for  drinking purpose , this results  were compared with Indian standard Bureau for evaluation (BIS 10500;2012) and conclusion.


Keywords: Availability,non- palatable, intrusion,Potable,Scarcity.
