description | This paper investigates groundwater changes, from Medias City, regarding salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS) values. According to the data obtained from seven water wells, significant and high values for salinity and TDS can be observed. Collating the obtained results with drinking water quality standards issued by Law 311 of 28 June 2004 concerning the quality of drinking water, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) it is notices that all seven water wells samples have chemical parameters concentrations that exceed the maximum admissible concentration (MAC) established by assembly organisms. For analytical and chemical analyses, a portable WTW Multi 350i multiparameter device was used. Results reflect a chemical and organic contamination for groundwater from Medias Town signifying unacceptability for drinking. |
