The physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the water sample are compared with the drinking water standards and guidelines for the determination of the Water Quality Index. If the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the water is beyond the define limit then it will affect the human health. It has been realized that the use of individual water quality variable in order to describe the water quality for common public is not easily understand worthy. Water Quality Index has an efficiency to convert all the information into a single number to indicate the data in a simple form. It is similar to Air Quality Index.

    On the water quality reports, these values were overall different for each water company, so it was easy to narrow down the unknown sample’s identity by comparing numbers across all of these categories. The least helpful method was total dissolved solids because, when trying to distinguish between the two American companies, the ranges were very close and were not helpful in determining which company the water came from. Conclusion After completing an EDTA titration, atomic absorption spectrometry, and taking conductivity measurements, the calcium and magnesium concentrations, total dissolved solids, and total hardness of the unknown water samples were compared with known values from water quality reports in order to identify from which brand the sample came from. It was determined that sample A4 was from Poland Spring, B4 was from Deer Park, and D4 was from Evian.
