Qualitative Analysis of Water Samples from Neelon Nehar and Govind Sagar Lake: A Comparative Study

Life depends on clean water, and its safe usage requires constant impurity monitoring. Limit tests for chloride, sulfate, and iron were used in this work to examine water samples from Govind Sagar Lake and Neelon Nehar to determine inorganic contaminants. Testing was done using the 1,10-phenanthroline technique, turbidimetric analysis, and argentometric titration. The findings showed that Govind Sagar had reduced sulfate and chloride levels, suggesting no agricultural or industrial pollution. Its iron levels were noticeably greater, nevertheless, most likely as a result of local environmental conditions or natural leaching. Neelon Nehar, in contrast, had greater amounts of sulfate and chloride, which were ascribed to runoff from agriculture and industrial discharge along its path. The study identifies significant variations in water quality between the two states' samples, which are caused by both human and environmental influences. For these water resources to be used sustainably and safely, regular monitoring and focused pollution control measures are essential.
