COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOLAR AND IONIC DISINFECTION OF POTABLE WATER SAMPLES FROM DISPARATE PESHAWAR VENUE, PAKISTAN

Ten potable water samples were collected from circadian sources of Peshawar domains. Water samples corroborated higher bacterial counts at each 0, 1/10, 1/100, 1/1000, 1/10,000 dilution and were charged to be diabolical bacteriologically. These samples were put through solar and ionic (silver and gold) disinfection practices. From the result it was authenticated that solar dynamism was preferable over ionic exuberance providing reduced plate counts at every dilution. Therefore, solar disinfection contrivance can render lucrative and secure drinking water to the community.
