Physical and Chemical Analysis

This includes testing for parameters such as pH, temperature, total dissolved solids, conductivity, and turbidity. These tests provide information about the water's composition and overall quality.

Physical and chemical analysis are critical components of source water assessment and potable water treatment system design. These analyses help evaluate the quality of raw water sources and determine the appropriate treatment methods and processes required to produce safe drinking water.

Physical analysis evaluates the physical characteristics of the raw water source, including:

1. Color: The color of raw water sources is important to assess because it can indicate the presence of organic or inorganic substances that may affect the treatment process.
2. Odor: The odor of raw water sources is important to evaluate because it can indicate the presence of organic or inorganic substances that may affect the treatment process
3. Turbidity: Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of the water, caused by suspended particles. High turbidity levels can interfere with the treatment process and produce suboptimal results.
4. Temperature: The temperature of raw water sources is important to evaluate because it can affect the solubility of certain substances, such as oxygen, and impact the treatment process.

Chemical analysis evaluates the chemical characteristics of the raw water source, including:

1. pH: pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the water. The pH of raw water sources is important to assess because it can affect the solubility and reactivity of certain substances and impact the treatment process.
2. Total Alkalinity: Total alkalinity refers to the ability of water to neutralize acids. The total alkalinity of raw water sources is important to evaluate because it can affect the solubility and reactivity of certain substances and impact the treatment process.
3. Total Hardness: Total hardness refers to the amount of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, in the water. High levels of hardness can interfere with the treatment process and produce suboptimal results.
4. Contaminants: Contaminants, such as heavy metals, organic pollutants, and pathogens, can pose a risk to public health and must be properly addressed in the treatment process. Chemical analysis is used to identify and quantify the presence of contaminants in raw water sources.
