case study of ground water pollution in india

Eighty percent of India's drinking water comes from groundwater, a resource that is depleting and continuously being compromised by large scale discharge of industrial and agricultural effluents, primarily emerging contaminants and toxic metals (Water Aid Assessment, 2017) (Nayak, 2009). Emerging contaminants are naturally occurring or ...

The main sources and causes of groundwater pollution are municipal, industrial and agricultural. The objective of the present study is to enumerate on the sources and causes of groundwater pollution in relation with municipal usage within the Nagpur city. Finally, relation between Land use/Land cover and groundwater pollution has been ...

Groundwater pollution: a case study from Madras city, India 149 such as Zn, Cu, Cr and Pb. The primary source of water supply for Madras city consists of three interlinked, rain-fed reservoirs (Red Hills, Poondi and Cholavaram), located to the northwest. This source is supplemented with groundwater from aquifers on the

Pollution of groundwater due to industrial effluents and municipal waste in water bodies is another major concern in many cities and industrial clusters in India. A 1995 survey undertaken by Central Pollution Control Board identified 22 sites in 16 states of India as critical for groundwater pollution, the primary cause being industrial ...

The Central Groundwater Board points out that between the years 2007 and 2011, on average, polluted water caused ten million diarrhoea cases, 740,000 typhoid cases, and 150,000 cases of viral hepatitis, as many as 650 towns and cities are situated on the banks of contaminated rivers, which dirty the groundwater. 2.

This study focuses on the groundwater quality and associated human health risks in the West Medinipur district of West Bengal, India. The region, situated between the Kangsabati and Subarnarekha rivers, faces challenges from anthropogenic activities such as agricultural practices and industrial pollution.

dealing with groundwater development and management have been carrying out case studies across the country over the last several decades in search of viable solutions of raging or Fig.1.

study to understand the groundwater quality in. Chennai. Model domain was generated with the specified. grid size of 50 × 50. Water level contours were. drawn for 2006, 2008 and 2010 to ...

The concentration of F-may be lower in raw waste water than naturally occurs in the ground water. Therefore, a decrease in the concentration of F-near the drain may be attributed to dilution by contributions of waste water to the ground water. The rest of the parameters were found to be directly related to the distance of collection points to ...

Groundwater pollution and the effects of climate change, including erratic rainfall in the drier areas, put additional stress on groundwater resources which serve about 85% of domestic water supply in rural areas, 45% in urban areas, and over 60% of irrigated agriculture. ... IEG case studies in Rajasthan, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh showed ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate health risk assessment due to F − pollution of groundwater by performing meta-analysis and meta-regression approaches in context of India. Thus, we conducted meta-analysis of data to understand the problem deeply and evaluated non-carcinogenic health risk assessment due to ingestion of F − ...

Singh, S., & Singh, H. [29] in their study "Impact and extent of groundwater pollution: a case study of rural area in Punjab State (India)" revealed that polluted groundwater had caused various ...

In the present study drinking ground water quality index has been assessed in the region of Greater Noida, U.P. (India). ... Most effective tool to monitor the surface as well as groundwater pollution is the water quality index which can be used efficiently in improving the water quality programmes. ...

Groundwater pollution: a case study from Madras city, India 155 map both during summer and monsoon suggesting that the groundwater of the Madras basin is contaminated. In contrast to most metals, Mn and Zn concentrations at most of the locations are higher during monsoon than in summer, probably due to the leaching of these metals from the ...

Figure 3.1: Causes of Water Pollution 4. Effects of Water Pollution: In fact as far as India is concerned polluted water is one of the major factors behind the general low levels of health in India, especially in the rural areas. Polluted water can lead to diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis, dysentery, jaundice, diarrhea, etc.

Abstract and Figures. Groundwater samples collected during monsoon and summer from both open and dug wells in an area of 270 km 2 , were analysed for eight ultra trace elements (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn ...

A detailed investigation of GW-SW interaction is, therefore, crucial in the context of a vast country like India that is facing a rapid decline in per capita availability of water ( Mohanty et al., 2012, Rao et al., 2020) ( Table 1 ). Table 1. Per capita water availability in India ( CWC, 2019 ). Year.

llution poses a very serious sustainable development issue in the country. It is estimated th. t India's half of the morbidity problem arises out of poor water quality. Both surface and considerable qua. tum of groundwater in India amounting to approximately 70% is contaminated. This occurred mainly by unchecked as well as mismanaged disposal ...

Groundwater contamination is a global problem that has a significant impact on human health and ecological services. Studies reported in this special issue focus on contaminants in groundwater of geogenic and anthropogenic origin distributed over a wide geographic range, with contributions from researchers studying groundwater contamination in India, China, Pakistan, Turkey, Ethiopia, and ...

While there were spatial variations in groundwater suitability indices, the majority of groundwater sources were generally suitable for most uses, except for extreme cases involving high salinity and NO 3 −. By employing modified water suitability indices and grouping groundwater quality parameters, a clearer zonation pattern was established ...

A multi-city study in India, published in the Lancet, has found that over 33,000 deaths in the country annually can be attributed to short-term exposure to air pollution.
