Abstract

Contamination and degradation in the quality of the fresh water under the ground is one of the major problems of our world. Water quality on the other hand, determined by the physical, chemical and biological compounds in the water. TDS (Total Dissolved Solid), salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, metabolic wastes, toxic compounds and conductivity are some of the major indicators of the water quality. These items are sometimes correlated and any increase in one factor may decrease/increase other factors as well. The aim of this work is to develop an idea about the contamination due to chemicals dissolved or biological anomalies in the water. Mainly the indicator of this change has been examined by the change in the conductivity parameter, which is a major electrical property that affects the Electromagnetic reflectivity of the surface ground.
