Volume : II, Issue : VIII, September - 2012 Evaluation Of Water Quality Index For Drinking From Ashvi Dam Water Sangamner, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra A. J. Dhembare , Jayshree Dhumal and I. .I Mujawar DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The present work was evaluates water quality index [WQI] for drinking from
Ashvi dam water, Sangamner, Maharashtra. It was assessed by using parameters such as
pH, total dissolve solids, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand,
total phosphate, nitrates, turbidity and fecal colliforms. The WQI score of dam water was
56.68, 53.16 and 56.52 values in rainy, winter and summer. This indicates that the
reservoir water is medium for drinking. The contributions of parameters to WQI in
percent were also evaluated. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : A. J. Dhembare , Jayshree Dhumal and I. .I Mujawar, (2012).
