Abstract:

The present study was undertaken to determine the suitability of ground water of the Kasur city for drinking purpose. In Kasur there are 23 colonies and 23 samples were collected in total, one sample from each colony. The pH of the samples was in the range of 6.6-7.2 while the electrical conductivity from 1.0-3.2 dsm-1. The microbial contamination showed very high values in samples. The treatment of activated carbon, hydrogen zeolite and chlorination was applied to remove bacteria from water samples, to improve the quality of water. Therefore, the results showed that there was a great contamination in ground water of the area under study.
