Contamination of drinking water poses serious threats for the
health and survival of life forms on earth. Azad Jammu and Kashmir
is also facing water pollution problem as its most of the surface
water sources are not monitored periodically. The present study was
an effort to find out the physical, chemical and biological
contamination level in drinking water sources of District Kotli and
its peripheral areas. Physical parameters include temperature,
turbidity, electric conductivity (EC), salinity, total dissolved
solids (TDS), hardness, taste and color. Chemical parameter
selected for the study include Iron, Arsenic, Nitrates, Nitrites,
Sulphates, Floride, Phosphorus and Phosphate while total and fecal
coli forms were the biological contamination source in drinking
water from the study area. One Sample t-test and Descriptive test
were applied for the analysis. Mostly parameters were within the
World Health Organization (WHO), however, fecal and total coli
forms differ significantly (P: 0.01) from WHO level. It showed that
environmental burden majorly generated due to miss management.All
form of contamination could be reduced.
