Borewell Water Testing
Borewells are widely used as water sources in agriculture, industries and in domestic
use. All users who need to use water from bore wells require water testing to assure
water quality.
With the municipal supplies, rainwater, and surface water availability becoming
undependable, borewells are being increasingly seen as a dependable source of
primary water supply.
Water from the borewells is purified by natural processes as it slowly seeps through
the various layers of soil. It does, however, get contaminated with a variety of
contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, toxic chemicals, and even
disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
Contaminants seep into the groundwater supply from contaminated surface water
sources, drains, mining operations, farms, garbage dumps as well as from dumping of
industrial toxic materials. Moreover, as borewells are being dug deeper and deeper
there is an increased risk of contamination from heavy metals that are stored inside
the earth.
- If you desire to package drinking water then a bore well water test analysis report is a requirement that goes with the application for a license to the Bureau of Indian Standards. All fresh water is used to produce packaged drinking water through a water purification system needs to be tested as without complying with standards BIS license cannot be issued.
- The pharmaceutical industry also uses borewell water for which water is tested according to the country to which the pharmaceutical products are being exported. Each country has a different compliance requirement so besides being tested for compliance with Indian standards water testing also needs to be carried out according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) or US EPA requirements.
- Water which is used by the food industry needs to meet the requirements of IS 4251 in India and the relevant specifications of importing countries if the food is exported.
- Construction sites also use borewell water as the primary water source and the quality of water can have a huge impact on the strength of the construction. A higher level of chlorides can lead to corrosion of the reinforcement steel bars. Water used in construction should meet the requirement of IS 456.
Our laboratory is accredited for bore well water testing by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).
