Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Ground Water of Vuyyuru, Part of East Coast of India
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Quality of water is an important criterion for evaluating the suitability of water for drinking and irrigation. The ground water samples were collected and subjected for a comprehensive physico – chemical analysis. The following 19 parameters have been considered viz. pH, Electrical Conductivity, Alkalinity, Total hardness, Total Dissolved Solids, dissolved oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, phosphate, sulphate, chloride, nitrate, cadmium, manganese, iron, nickel, zinc, copper and lead. On comparing the results against drinking quality standards laid by World Health Organization, it was found that some of the water quality parameters were above the permissible limit and some were not. More over this study may help other regions in understanding the potential threats to their ground water resources.
