4.4 Water
4.4.1 Ground water quality
Groundwater samples were collected for 4 selected sites for analysis. The sites were distributed
in Male’, Hulhule and Hulhumale’ work sites. Results of the findings are summarised in Table
(Table 4.4) below and the laboratory results area attached in Appendix H. As groundwater is
only used for flushing of toilets and other non-potable uses, the results were not compared with
any drinking water standards.
