Correlation study among quality parameters of some water sources

Abstract

Water quality was studied by collecting samples fortnightly and analysing in the laboratory during the study period Jan- May 2013 at Patiala. Physico-chemical tests were done for tap water, hand pump water and canal water. Hand pump water and tap water was found better. Dependencies established through correlation coefficients revealed high positiveness between Conductivity and Dissolved Solids; Alkalinity and Hardness. The tools developed assist in decision making in Water Management Program.
