Water is one of the most precious natural resource. The surface of the earth mostly consists of water, although only a part of it is usable. This precious and limited resource, therefore, must be used with care. As it is required for different purposes, the suitability of it must be checked before use.

Nearly 25 water samples were collected from the campus neighborhood and analysed the content of Chlorine, Fluoride, pH, Hardness and Alkalinity, etc.,in it.
