Title
Unveiling Water Quality: Total Solids Analysis in KPK Province's
Water Samples"

Results & Discussion


Table (3) shows the concentration of Total solids in different water samples
collected from various regions of the Kp province. Five samples were collected by
our group, including water samples from the marble industry, Drinking water
samples, water samples from the ghee industry, tube wells & canals. Table (3) is
given below:

It is clear from the table (3) that the water from marble industry contains the
highest concentration of impurities compared to water from ghee factories, canals,
drinking sources, and tube wells. Marble factories generate significant dust and
particles during the marble cutting and shaping process, contributing to the
elevated impurity levels in their wastewater. Similarly, ghee factories discharge
wastewater containing fats, oils, and proteins during their cleaning procedures,
adding to the impurities in the water. Canals accumulate various pollutants
including soil runoff from agricultural lands, urban contaminants from cities, and
industrial waste, all of which contribute to the elevated impurity levels in canal
water. Drinking water and tube well water also contain impurities originating from
natural minerals in the ground as well as potential pollution sources. Therefore,
water from these sources carries impurities either from natural processes or human
activities, leading to varying levels of contamination across different water bodies.
The presence of high levels of impurities, particularly in water from marble and
ghee factories, can affect water quality. These impurities pose significant health
risks to both humans and wildlife. Contaminants such as heavy metals, organic
compounds, and pathogens found in polluted water sources can lead to waterborne
diseases and long-term health issues when consumed. Excessive total solids in
drinking water and tube well water can cause adverse health effects when ingested.
The presence of elevated total solids in drinking water and tube well water can
have adverse effects on water quality, public health, and infrastructure. Effective
monitoring, treatment, and management strategies are essential to mitigate these
impacts and ensure the provision of safe and reliable drinking water to
communities.
Conclusion
From the whole practical it was concluded that the marble industry had the highest
amount of total solids in its water followed by the ghee industry, canal water,
drinking water, and tube well water respectively. The presence of total solids in
these water samples can affect its quality; it can affect its odor and taste. The
presence of total solids in water can also affect the aquatic ecosystem. Therefore it
is needed that we should follow precautionary measurements and water treatment
systems to save human life and aquatic ecosystems from the negative impact of
total solids.
