Method verification for metal analysis (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, and Mn) in surface water using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) was carried out to evaluate the method’s performance in the laboratory-based on US Method EPA 200.7. The verified method is used to determine the metal content in river water flowing in Bandar Lampung. The results showed that the method used had good linearity with a regression coefficient of more than 0.995. This method’s accuracy is expressed by the %RSD (relative standard deviation), which is in the range of 3.145 to 4.345% and meets the acceptance requirements with a %RSD value less than ⅔ CV Horwitz. The method accuracy obtained from the spiking analysis gives a range of 80-110% for the analysis of 1 mg/L and meets the acceptability required by AOAC. Overall, the performance of the method used is suitable for the analysis of metals in surface water. This method was applied for metal analysis in river water samples in several places in Bandar Lampung, which were the Palang Besi river (A1), the Way Balau Kedamaian river (B1), the Way Balau Kedaton river (C1), the Way Kuala river (D1), the Sumur Batu Kahuripan river (E1), Sumur Putri river (F1), and Muara Kahuripan river (G1). The concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Co metals were under the LoD method, while the Mn concentration was above the LoD method in river water samples.

<p>Groundwater and Sutlej river water are major sources of irrigation in Rupnagar district of Punjab. Water quality was examined for their agricultural suitability using a total of 54 surface water (16 from Sutlej and 6 from Sirsa River) and groundwater (total 32 of ~160 m depth) samples from Pre- (June 2019) and post-monsoon (Dec 2018) seasons. On-site parameters (electrical conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids) indicate permissible pH (pH 6.6-8.2) and conductivity (147-1953 μS/cm), while 18.5% of samples are brackish salt to salt category type on salinity index. The results of these parameters were further interpreted and measured with different irrigation indexes like sodium percent (SP), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), chloride concentrations and Wilcox diagram. Similarly, most of the samples (except Sutlej river water samples) were found to be above permissible limits with respect to SP (5.36-81.01) and RSC (0-6.23), but SAR is indicative of suitability for irrigation purposes (0.11-8.3). The suitability for irrigation as per SAR is because of low sodium content in all the samples relative to calcium and magnesium. The Wilcox diagram of pre-monsoon samples indicate high, medium and low saline to low sodium hazard except 1 sample with high saline to medium sodium hazard and salinity-sodium hazard in post-monsoon is comparatively lower than that of pre-monsoon. However careful observation of the complete data analysis suggests that all the parameters in Sutlej river water samples were found to be suitable for irrigation while most of the groundwater samples and 3 samples from Sirsa river were unfit for irrigation purposes as inferred from SP, RSC and Wilcox diagram.</p>

Abstract A method was validated for the direct determination of As(III) and As(V) in water samples by ion chromatography/inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Sample preservation required only dilution with a mobile phase containing a sufficient amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and acetic acid. Analyses of 6 certified reference materials (CRMs) of various water matrixes, including seawater, demonstrated good method accuracy. The matrixes included 2 natural water samples National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material (NIST SRM) 1643e and NIST SRM 1640, 1 fortified standard solution (TMDA-64), 1 fortified water sample (TM-DWS), and 2 seawater samples (CASS-4 and NASS-5). The sum of As(III) and As(V) in each CRM agreed with the respective certified value for the total amount of As within its stated uncertainty. Quantitative recoveries (96.7-102.1%) were obtained. Satisfactory results were achieved for intraday repeatability relative standard deviation (RSD 0.3-5.1%] and interday precision (RSD 0.7-4.1%). In the study of fortified blanks and fortified CRMs, quantitative recoveries of As(III) and As(V) (92.5-102.6%) were obtained. Interconversion of As(III) and As(V) was not observed under the conditions of sample preservation. International comparability of analytical results was demonstrated by the analysis of 2 interlaboratory proficiency test samples, NY7011 and NY8511, from the New York State Department of Health.
