Hands on Training on “Water Analysis: Evaluating Physical, Chemical and Biological Parameters” Held at Selvam College of Technology
Selvam College of Technology, the Department of Biotechnology, successfully organized a Hands on Training on “Water Analysis: Evaluating Physical, Chemical and Biological Parameters” The program was conducted to provided an in-depth understanding of physical, chemical, and biological water quality parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and nitrate levels.
The training session was handled by the resource person, Ms.S.Kawya & Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Selvam College of Technology, who provided in-depth technical guidance and practical demonstrations the students through the complete process. The session focused on different methods of evaluating water quality, including assessing physical, chemical, and biological parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, nitrate levels, and bacterial contamination.
During the interactive and hands-on session, students actively participated in performing water quality tests, using instruments like spectrophotometers, pH meters, and turbidity meters. They gained practical experience in sampling, analyzing, and interpreting data to assess water quality for various farming applications.
The Hands on training also highlighted the role of water quality monitoring in sustainable farming, showing how proper water management can support food security, reduce water waste, and promote environmental sustainability. Students explored the integration of technology and automation in water management systems, including how sensors and real-time data help optimize water usage and ensure efficient plant growth.
The program was highly informative and beneficial, providing students with valuable exposure to modern water analysis techniques and real-world applications in agriculture.
A total of 42 participants actively took part, gaining hands-on experience and practical knowledge that will be beneficial for their future careers in biotechnology, agriculture, and environmental sciences.
