Abstract
The consumption of unsafe water is harmful to human health. It is therefore important to ascertain the quality and clarity of water set out for drinking. This study assessed and compared the physiochemical properties of well water used for drinking and domestic purposes in Bali metropolis with the acceptable limits set by WHO and NSDWQ. Water samples were collected from sixty (60) selected wells in Ten (10) different geographical zones used for drinking and domestic purposes. Water samples were collected and analyzed for the physico-chemical parameters. Temperature, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were determined in the field using pH and conductivity meters. The consumption of unsafe water is harmful to human health. It is therefore important to ascertain the quality and clarity of water set out for drinking. This study assessed and compared the physiochemical properties of well water used for drinking and domestic purposes in Bali metropolis with the acceptable limits set by WHO and NSDWQ.
