The Comparison of Hardness of Drinking Water from Drinking Fountain from Various Locations Across Vancouver and Bottle Water

Abstract

Drinking water is essential and always needs to be ensured its quality in our daily life. The intake of hard water which is the water containing high calcium and magnesium (Wist, et al., 2009), and this may be beneficial for human health such as enhancing the absorption of calcium (Rubenowite et al. 1999). Based on this concept, the measurement of hard water using a Calcium Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) was conducted for various sources of fountain water. The water samples from W 63 rd. Avenue& Yukon Street, Queen Elizabeth Park, Tea Swamp Park, W.C. Shelly Park, Collingwood Park, UBC Chemistry 2 D Building and bottled water from AQUAFINA company within a week of the collection were measured. The aim of this study will focus on the lack of information on hardness in Vancouver. And make a comparison of quality of hardness varies between the water from the different usual resources.
