Abstract

The study was made in Govt. Holkar Science College, Indore. Different laboratories have been chosen for the study. Fresh water has been same as the source in each laboratory was same that is tube well. Only the difference was the drainage water which has been collected from the outlet of different laboratories. Conductometry is a technique of determining Conductance of the sample using conductometer. The study was made to determine the use of drainage water for plants in the garden situated near by laboratories. Chemicals used in each laboratory were harmful or not for plants and insects, were the significance of the study. Conductivity of a substance is defined as 'the ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound'. Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity. Because the electrical current is transported by the ions in solution, the conductivity increases as the concentration of ions increases. Thus conductivity increases as water dissolved ionic species. Water having high conductance has no use for irrigation of plants.
