A study to assess the quality of drinking water sources and health conditions of the natives in a rural location of Solan District (30° 54′ 16.76′′ N, 77° 05′ 48.18′′ E) was conducted during February–May in 2018. Water samples were collected from four different sites covering two different and only sources of water supply, i.e., Bawdi (natural well) and Handpump in the village. These collected samples were tested for the quality parameters such as color, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium hardness (Ca-H), magnesium hardness (Mg-H), ions such as Cl⁻, CO₃²⁻, HCO₃⁻, Na⁺, K⁺ and selected metals (Fe, Pb and Cr). The Indian Standard methods were followed for the collection and analysis of water samples. A health survey was also conducted to check the current health conditions of the natives and correlate with the water chemistry. The results of health survey and chemical analysis of water samples collected from Bawdi and Handpump have been discussed in this paper and compared with the permissible limits of WHO and BIS.

印度北部索兰农村地区饮用水水源质量和人类健康的评估

2018年2月至5月进行了一项研究，以评估索兰区农村地区（30°54′16.76′′N，77°05′48.18′E）的饮用水源质量和当地人的健康状况从四个不同的地点收集水样，覆盖两个不同且唯一的水源，即村中的Bawdi（自然井）和Handpump。这些收集的样品的质量参数，例如颜色，温度，pH，电导率进行了测试，总溶解固体，总硬度，钙硬度（钙-H），镁硬度（MG-H），离子如Cl ^-，CO ₃ ²⁻，HCO ₃ ⁻，Na ⁺，K ⁺以及某些金属（Fe，Pb和Cr）。遵循印度标准方法进行水样的收集和分析。还进行了健康调查，以检查当地人当前的健康状况，并将其与水化学反应相关联。本文讨论了从Bawdi和Handpump收集的水样本的健康调查和化学分析结果，并将其与WHO和BIS的允许限值进行了比较。
