Quality Of Rain Water Harvested At Roof Level And In Some Ponds Of Ajmer District, Rajasthan

摘要

Rain water samples were collected at roof level at Pushkar and Budha Pushkar during July, 2007. Water samples were also collected from 2 ponds around in Ajmer district. Physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters were analysed. Roof water was found to be pure and free from bacteriological contamination. Pond water is turbid and has high iron content with objectionable bacteriological pollution load, collection of roof water for drinking purpose was found to be encouraging. Pond water needs treatment before use.
