Abstract Water contains many ions and solutes that, in unison, are responsible for its quality and its ability to be used in multiple processes of everyday life. There are many sources of water around us, but what determines its usefulness is its quality, which is determined by the ions present in it. Many complicated and simple methods can be used to determine the quality of water, and this work reviews some of those techniques used to determine the quality of water, using the principle of quantitative measurement of ions present in each sample of water. Some of those ions responsible for water quality are Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Carbonate, and Bicarbonate. The ions here range from alkaline metals to alkaline earth metals, and thus their reactivity and stability vary within a range. Thus, the Same Technique cannot be used to measure their quantity. Thus, methods such as Potentiometric estimation, flame photometric estimation, and Calorimetry are used to give reliable and accurate values for those ions. When the ion quantity calculated by these methods is thus compared to the ion quantity in a reference solution of pure and normal water, the quality of the water sample solution can be verified or tested.
