The maximum permissible limit (BIS) of turbidity in drinking water is
The correct answer is 5 NTU. Turbidity levels should be maintained between 1 and 5 NTU to keep the desirable drinking water quality as per the Bureau of Indian Standards.

See lessHardness of water does not
The hardness of water does not affect the drinkability of water. The hardness of water is caused by the presence of different types of minerals like calcium and magnesium in high concentrations in it. This causes the formation of white flakes in a boiler when the hard water is boiled.
