Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
The objective of present study was to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of ground water samples in and around Dhamangaon Rly of Amravati district (Maharashtra) studied for one year during Oct.2010 to Sept.2011.The physicochemical parameters which were analyzed are pH, Calcium hardness, Magnesium hardness, Total hardness, Total alkalinity, Nitrate, Ammonia and Sulphate. The values obtained were compared with BIS standards (2004). The study revealed that various physicochemical parameters viz, calcium, magnesium, total alkalinity and Total hardness were beyond the desirable limits as recommended by BIS (2004) indicating that Ground water sources are polluted. It may be concluded that of Ground water sources in and around Dhamangaon Rly of Amravati district failed to qualify prescribed limits recommended by BIS in physicochemical aspects. This pollution is due to mostly human activities like discharge of untreated domestic sewage or effluent, use of fertilizer, pesticides in agricultural soil. Due to increasing population, urbanization and overutilization of ground waters, the available groundwater is rapidly getting polluted. Therefore, it is recommended that groundwater sources in this area should not be used for domestic purposes without treatment.
