ABSTRACT
Water is very vital factor for all biological processes taking place in our environment. Without water life is unpredictable. Water is a universal solvent. Balochistan is the biggest territory of Pakistan. Following study was completed to decide the convergence of metals in surface and ground water of Chaghi (Dalbandin) district of Balochistan. Seven (7) water samples were collected for this purpose. Physicochemical parameters (PH, Electrical conductivity, Total dissolved solids, and salinity) were examined. Assurance of metals for example Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Cobalt (Co), Lead (Pb) and Antimony (Sb) were completed utilizing Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer. From the following study it was analyzed that all water samples has pH, TDS, and Salinity values within the range of World Health Organization (WHO) and Environmental protection agency (EPA) range that is from 6.5 to 8.5, <1000mg/L, 500 mg/L respectively. The electrical conductivity of all water samples is higher than the WHO and EPA limits that is1000 ?S/cm. It was also analyzed that water samples of K K Rahim bore, Sagesha, Sia jungle contain Fe in a range (0.2277, 0.2687, 0.2687) that is less than the WHO and EPA limit. The water sample collected from Laghap, Bypass Marble Factory, School bore Bypass, Bypass contain Fe higher than the recommended value of WHO and EPA limit that is 0.3. Concentrations of Pb, Sb and Co were higher than the standards set by WHO and EPA. All water samples contain Mn in a range of WHO and EPA limit that is 0.5 and <0.5.
