Studies on Ground Water Quality of Mandideep Industrial Area, Bhopal
Keywords:
Ground water quality,, industrial area,, electrical conductivity,, pHAbstract
Groundwater is a precious source of water supply because of its relatively low susceptibility to pollution in comparison with surface water and its large storage capacity. In order to find out the impact of industrial effluent discharges on the ground water quality, water samples were collected from different sources near the Mandideep industrial area and analyzed for water quality parameters during the month of May 2016. Among different parameters studied in water samples, Ni, Cd, Zn, Sn, Pb were not found in the sample and Carbonates, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphates, Chlorides, Nitrates, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Fluoride, Turbidity, Alkalinity values are within the permissible limit. Electrical conductivity varies from 238-654.60μmhos/cm and pH is observed in the range of 6.82-7.74 which are meeting the desired criteria at all the locations. Analysis results of the samples were compared with the drinking water standards as per IS: 10500-2012.
