Abstract
Groundwater quality of Jalalabad cantonment area in Sylhet city is deteriorating. The study was conducted for assessing the ground water quality in drinking purpose of Jalalabad cantonment area in Sylhet city. For human survival, water is a vital resource. Total twenty-five water samples were collected from different parts of Jalalabad Cantonment area from deep aquifer-based tube wells. The collected water samples were analyzed for different physicochemical properties like Color, taste, odor, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, boron, sulphur, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc concentrations. All the analyzed parameters compared with the standards prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Bangladesh Standard (BBS), in order to assess the ground water quality for drinking purpose. For different parameters of drinking water, the correlation matrix was also calculated. Almost all the physicochemical parameters were found within the prescribed permissible limit. Findings show that some of the parameters Cu and Zn were negatively associated with TDS, Ca2+, Mg2+, S contents.
