Abstract
District Nasirabad is situated in North corner province Baluchistan in Pakistan. Where the people were found to be drinking the canal, tube well and hand pump water in various points of the district. So, three types of drinking water samples were collected from the remote area of District Nasirabad (Balochistan), Pakistanincluding the canal water, tube well water and hand pump water.The quality of the water samples was determined using the standard methods. Some very cheaper and easily available treatment plans have been devised to improve the quality of water. So the people can use this device to purify the drinking water where necessary.The trace metals ions such as Cd, Ni and Fe, contents were determined by atomic adsorption Spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer and Analyst model 100). The data showed the variation of the investigated parameters in water samples as follows: physical analysis of before treatment pH 6.3-7.4, conductivity (EC) 342-3180 us/cm, TH 338-450mg/1.Chlorides120-250 mg/1, TDS 800-1200 mg/l, Ni 0.02-0.8 mg/l, Cd 0.01-0.5 mg/l and Fe 0.03-2 mg/l. These water samples were subjected to simple treatment processes like treatment with wheat bagasse, rice husk, and animal charcoal, at the end a mixture of the sand + wheat bagasse + animal charcoal. The best results have been obtained using the last mixture remedy. This remedy has been suggested to the people of the area.
