Abstract

The complete analysis of 15 drinking water samples was carried out to develop a data base on the quality of water being consumed in different areas of Abbottabad district. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of water samples of different localities was conducted to determine the exact amount of different pollutants present in water. The drinking water samples were taken from the main water sources where maximum peoples were using them for drinking purpose. The results indicated certain sources of water-borne diseases in drinking water, which are common in the people of a particular area. The results of the present research work showed that drinking water collected from different areas of Abbottabad district was not found to be suitable for human health due to microbiological issues.

Key words: Abbottabad, drinking water, qualitative and quantitative analysis.
