Abstract | Drinking water quality parameters from groundwater source was assessed in Bhajani and Chuha VDCs in Kailali district. A total of 24 groundwater samples were assessed following standard procedures and the results were compared with the national standard. Most of the parameters such as colour, pH, turbidity, TDS, EC and total hardness were within the prescribed limit. Some heavy metals such as Al, Pb, Cd, Fe, As and Mn exceeded in some of the samples indicating possible risk to the community. |
