Abstract

The island of Nosy-Be is exceptional in Madagascar, because of its reliefs.The objective of my work is the determination of the physical parameters, chemical parameters and the microbiological parameters so that the water of the Farihy Soldat is drinkable for the population of Nosy-Be.Physical parameters in general are good because the temperature is 16°C, the standard <25°C, the turbidity is 1.82 NTU the norm is <5NTU, the pH is 7.1 the norm is between 6.5 to 8.5 and the conductivity is 219μS / cm the standard is between 180 to 1000μS / cm.The chemical parameters is admissible for drinking water without the insufficiency of some concentrations, the dissolved oxygen 1.1 mg / L the norm is <2mg / L, the salinity is 0mg / L the norm is 0mg / L, the TAC is 10°f the standard is <11°f, the nitrate is 0.7mg / L the standard is 44mg / L, the TH is 19,28mg / L the standard is 50mg / L, the iron is 0mg / L the standard is <0.2mg / L, Ammonium is 0.05mg / L standard is <0.5mg / L, sodium is 6.9mg / L standard is 200mg / L, potassium is 11mg / L the standard is <12mg / L, the calcium is 29.4mg / L the standard is 100mg / L, the magnesium is 29.16mg / L the standard is 50mg / L, the aluminum is 0mg / L the standard is <0, 2mg / L, the copper is 0.09mg / L the standard is <5mg / L, the lead is 0mg / L the standard is <0.5mg / L and the chlorides is 10.65mg / L the standard is 250mg / L. The microbiological parameters, the concentrations found are excluded to the values required for drinking water, so the water of the Farihy Soldat is microbial.Microorganisms that can be revived at 22°C and at 36°C with 145 cfu / ml, 23 cfu / mlColiforms 1Ufc / 100mL standard is 0, Coli is <1 Ufc / 100mL, Enterococci is 42Ufc / 100mL the norm is 0.According to these results the water is microbial, so it is necessary to treat before being used, in my work disinfection is carried out by sodium hypochlorite.

1. Introduction

The island of Nosy-Be is located in the North-West of Madagascar, it measures 35 km from north to south and 19 km from east to west. There are 12 great sacred lakes, the Farihy Soldiers among the 12 Great Lakes.
The characteristics of the Farihy Soldier are given in the following table N°1.
Pictures represents the soldats Farihy

2. Bibliographic Synthesis

The structure of the water is either liquid, solid and gaseous, with the chemical formula being H2O.
The water dissociates in OH- and H + ion, the potential of hydrogen which is shielded the two ions.
Oxygen base dissolved gas indicates the chemical composition of the water.
Water may contain organic matter. It also contains the metals as a trace. Pollutions exist in water, their excess concentration causes or indicates the existence of the microbe in water.
The drinking water standard is recommended by WHO and the EU. [1]

3. Analysis Parameters

The pH to know that the water is acidic, is basic and neutral, turbidity is the transparency of a water, the conductivity allows to appreciate the quality of salt dissolved in water.
The organic matter allows to estimate the quality of organic matter in the water, the salinity is the measurement of the concentration of the salt in the water, the TAC it is the basic salt content that is to say to know the concentration of ion bicarbonate in water. The total hardness (TH) determination the calcium and magnesium content that exist in the water. Ammonium indicates an existence of pollution in water. The existence of iron in water in trace form, the upper levels of the limit values indicate that the water is not good.
Baseline parameters for drinking water ie calcium, magnesium and sodium limit values for drinking water standards are respected.
Aluminum, lead and copper are metals lords their existence in the water are very dangerous. Chloride is a major element in drinking water.
Microbial analysis plays a very important role for drinking water.

Figure 5. The figure gives the curve of the concentration of dissolved oxygen
The concentration of dissolved oxygen is 1.1mg / L, the limit value is <2mg / L, this concentration found is standard for drinking water. The concentration found for dissolved oxygen is 1,1mg / L, represents that the organic matter can exist in the water, this existence leads that the water of the Farihy Soldier is polluted.

Figure 13. This curve indicates the measurement result for the calicium concentration
The value found is 29.4mg / L, the limit value is 100mg / L, this concentration is acceptable, but it is insufficient. The value of calcium is low may be because of this Farihy lack of limestone soil that causes calcium concentration.

7. Results Interpretation

× For the physical parameters:
The water quality of the Farihy Soldiers responds exactly to the recommendation by WHO, EU and MS in water intended for human consumption.
× For the chemical parameters:
For the chemical parameters, such as oxygen, nitrate and ammonium, the concentrations found are low, the low content of these parameters indicates that the water does not have any pollution.
For the abortive elements like calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium; In general, the concentrations are low, the water can be used for human consumption, but the parameters are very important for drinking water.
For lord metals, water from Farihy Soldiers no danger for metal toxicity.
The concentrations for the chemical parameters found are increasing or decreasing due to natural sources and also the populations use this water of the farihy for the supply of drinking water, used for several cultures and finally several animals that drink in this Farihy.
× For microbiological parameters:
The results found shows that the water of the Farihy Soldats is microbial.
It must be treated before being used.
My research concerning the method of disinfection by chlorination, using the dose of calcium hypochlorite after 30 minutes of contact for the disinfected.
According to this curve we find that the optimal dose to disinfect the water of Farihy Soldats is determined by the "critical point" or "break point".
So we take for disinfection the dose of calcium hypochloryte of 3mg / L.
This value is used so that the population of Nosy-Be drink water without risk of contamination.

8. General Conclusions

For physical parameters, the water quality of Farihy Soldats perfectly meets the international recommendation for water intended for human consumption.
For chemical parameters, the concentration of each parameter is permissible for the standard of drinking water, but the concentration found is low. So we can say that the quality of the water is not good.
Lords do not exist in the Farihy Soldiers, no risk of toxicity.
The water of Farihy Soldiers is microbial, it must be treated before being used.
The demand for chlorine can disinfect these microbes with the optimal dose of 3mg / L.
After this treatment the population of Nosy-Be drink water without risk of contamination.
