Water plays an important role in the development of healthy society. Quality of water depends on various constituents present in it. Nitrate is one of the components responsible for the quality of water and associate with various health problems if present in excess. In some areas of multiple countries the nitrate concentration is very high due to runoff and discharge of sewage, effluents of agriculture and industries.
