GROUND WATER QUALITY IN THE VICINITY OF INDUSTRIAL LOCATIONS IN GUNTUR, A.P., INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Physico-chemical investigations, which are significant for the assessment of ground water quality, have been carried out to identify the sources of contamination in the groundwater in Guntur city in Andhra Pradesh, India. In the present study, groundwater was found to be highly contaminated in the industrial area of Guntur. In essence, high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Sodium (Na+ ), Potassium (K+ ) and Chlorides (Cl- ) in groundwater reflect additions of pollutants from industrial sources that further deteriorate its quality. The results obtained from the study are compared with the standards suggested by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The results revealed that the water quality parameters failed to meet the drinking water quality standards and were found unfit for drinking purpose, and hence were graded as non-potable.
