Different research papers have been analyzed, and data has been gathered regarding the nature of
water in Haryana, Hisar city in India. Water is tested based on certain properties. Certain physical
and chemical tests determine the nature of potable water. Greywater contains a standardized
amount of heavy metals such as lead, mercury and other compounds such as carbonates, etc.
Greywater contains a fixed bacterial count such as E. coli, pseudomonas, Helicobacter pylori,
Bacteroides, bacillus, etc. If the temperature range goes beyond 35-degree Celsius, the microbial
activity increases. In this study more than ten research papers were analyzed, and it was found
that distinct water samples had high levels of Fluoride, alkalinity sodium, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and higher conductivity of the water. All of
these factors were in contradiction to the WHO standards. The concentration of Fluorine was
found to be higher than the Indian and WHO standards that can cause fluorosis of bones and
teeth in the water samples of Hissar city.
