Contaminated water can not only be a cause of several diseases in humans but also can affect the growth and quality of plants. Drinking water of Lasbela university of Agriculture, water and marine sciences (LUAWMS) and Uthal city was tested for its total hardness and total chloride/bromide concentration. Mohr's method was used to determine the concentration of chloride and total hardness was measured in terms of Mg/Ca concentration using volumetric analysis. Samples were collected from five different sites of LUAWMS and Uthal. The total chloride and bromide content in samples of Uthal's bore, Uthal's hotel, Magsi hostel, Hingol hostel and Armabel hostel was 0.71 g/L, 0.3 g/L, 2.13 g/L, 1.77 g/L and 2.13 g/L respectively and total hardness in samples was 4.86 g/L, 4.86 g/L, 9.72 g/L and 11.42 g/L respectively. Samples taken from LUAWMS contain higher amounts of chloride and are harder than the samples from Uthal city indicating that Uthal's water is slightly better in quality. However, considering the WHO limits of both hardness and chloride content, the drinking water of the sites requires prior treatment as it exceeds the permissible limits.

Drinking water of Lasbela university of Agriculture, water and marine sciences (LUAWMS) and Uthal city was tested for its total hardness and total chloride/bromide concentration. Mohr’s method was used to determine the concentration of chloride and total hardness was measured in terms of Mg/Ca concentration using volumetric analysis. A total of five samples were collected. Three samples were taken from LUAWMS and two samples were taken from Uthal city. Samples taken from LUAWMS had higher amounts of chloride and Mg than the ones taken from Uthal city. The concentrations of total chloride/bromide in samples were 0.71, 0.3, 2.13, 1.77 and 2.13 g/L respectively and total hardness in samples were 4.86, 4.86, 9.72,11.42 g/L.
