The Characterization of Groundwater Quality for Safe Drinking Water Wells via Disinfection and Sterilization in Jordan: A Case Study

This work aims to evaluate the quality of drinking water in Disi aquifer Jordan. Several parameters are included mathematical equation average and establish suitability for purposes. Water sampling zones from three wells were used calculate indices (WQI). The samples analyzed several physicochemical parameters, including pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, HCO3−, SO42−, Cl−, NO3−, hardness, electrical conductivity (EC) other elements (Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, As2−, Pb4+ Cu2+), groundwater wells. Biological such as faecal coliform, also tested. Weighted Arithmetic WQI indicated that most good excellent quality. These determined support decision making beneficial monitoring aquifer. relative weight is specific each parameter ranges 1 5; it establishes importance domestic analysis rates between 75 65 medium. potable was compared with guidelines World Health Organization (2011) Jordan Drinking Standard (JS286); results high fit drinking.
