Abstract:
    "Water is the most basic necessity of human beings. Drinkable water throughout the world is declining at a drastic rate and this shortage is creating countless problems that drift the world further away from sustainable development. Human body is made up of about 70% water and if intake of water is not pure it can cause many health problems. Pakistan as a developing country is facing such challenges which decelerate our growth. The parameters such as physio-chemical and microbial activity have a direct impact on the health, industrial usage, and agriculture usage. Currently Underground water resource of Quetta city is under tremendous stress and is under constant deterioration. The impurities present in water (such as Total dissolved solids (TDs), Chloride, coliform) are not properly treated due to which many people of the city suffer from severe water borne disease. The water table in Quetta is decreasing consistently due to inadequate precipitation, and lack of water management system. Extracting Underground water is a very expensive process and takes a lot of time and resources. The water of hanna lake is readily available and very cost efficient source of water, but needs to be properly treated before drinking. The Quetta city has extreme weather variations in winters surface water freezes and water quality in general increases. In summers water becomes more soluble and its pH slightly increases. Our research revolves around identifying the major impurities in hanna lake and spin karez, their seasonal variation and suggesting solutions to economically remove those impurities so that the water can be drinkable for the community in Quetta city. The sampling protocols that will be followed in this project will be according to united states Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)1 and Eurofins Environment testing Canada 2. Our team will also strive to achieve 3rd and 6th Sustainable development goals (SDGs) ”Good Health and Well being” and ” Clean water and sanitation”."
