Quality of water
Water during precipitation itself it carries some amount of physical, chemical, or biological impurities.
During the runoff also it pick up some dissolved particles of soil, garbage, sewage, pesticides, other human or animal waste or chemical.
During passage through the soil before joining water table though the water gets filtered out the suspended particles, some mineral may dissolve in it.
Note → Lesser amount of iron, calcium, magnesium, fluorine etc. are useful for drinking but larger amount make it unfit for drinking
Presence of toxic or poisonous substances such as arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, cyanides, lead, etc. →harmful even in very low quantities
Brackish water → presence of salts

The development of the city in a particular zone is a planned one.
The growth is planned one, and the future growth can be determined easily.
Master plan will give us when and where the development of residential, industrial, commercial etc would develop.
Population fore casting - Apportioned method
Apportioned Method
The ratio of local population to national population is worked out for last 3 or 4 decades
A graph is drawn with these ratios and the corresponding decades
The ratio for the designed decade is taken from the extrapolation of the graph
Knowing this ratio and the national population, the population for the city can be determined.
