Analysis of Contamination of Ground Water Due to Dump Yard: Case Study of Bhandewadi Dump Yard, Nagpur, India
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
In developing countries and modern cities, generation of waste is increasing day by day due to modernization in lifestyle of people. Proper collection of waste and its management, treatment and disposal is a measure concern in many developing countries. For the proper and safely disposal of waste, the disposal site should be far away from the residential area. Nagpur city is the 3rd largest city in Maharashtra and 2nd capital of Maharashtra. This city generates about 1000 MT of solid waste per day collected from different sources of waste like household waste, industrial waste, etc. the whole waste collected from different sources is dispose at Bhandewadi dumping site which is 8 km away from Nagpur. But due to urbanization and rapid growth of the city and low cost of land in Bhandewadi region, this area becomes a home for many families. The leachate from the dumping site gets infiltrated into the ground and contaminates the ground water. As the people residing in this region are all dependent on the ground water only for their domestic uses like drinking, bathing, etc. So this contaminated water which is use by the people is dangerous to their health. For analyzing the effect of dumping yard on ground water and its intensity with respective to the radial distance from the dumping yard, five samples where collected from five different settlements with varying distances and were sent to laboratory to analyze the water for parameters like pH, Nitrate and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). The results of these samples will be compared with the standard permissible limits set by the bureau of Indian standard (BIS) and world health organization (WHO). The study indicates that the water quality parameters exceed the permissible limits for drinking at many locations leading the water unsuitable for drinking.
