Water Quality Index (WQI), a technique of rating water quality, is an effective tool to assess quality and ensure sustainable safe use for drinking.The present work aimed the groundwater West Bokaro coalfield region knowing suitability drinking purpose by calculating WQI using Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques.Thirty three samples were collected from dug wells during post-monsoon, 2012 comprehensive physico-chemical analysis.Ten parameters considered such as: pH, fluoride (F...
Probabilistic health risk assessment was conducted for metal exposure through groundwater in mining areas of Singhbhum Copper Belt, India. The concentrations metals showed notable spatial variation exceeding drinking water standards at some the locations. Hazard Quotient revealed that chronic risks to local population were largely contributed by Mn, Co and As. 95th percentiles Index (HI) calculated using Monte Carlo simulations HI male, female child populations 2.87, 2.54 4.57 pre-monsoon,...
The West Bokaro coalfield is a richest coal-mining belt in the Damodar Valley, India. extensive mining of area has resulted disruption groundwater availability terms both quantity and quality. This led to drinking water crisis, especially during pre-monsoon period area. characterization hydrogeological system artificial recharging aquifers might help better manage problem groundwater-level depletion. For this purpose, seven important factors (water depth, slope, drainage, soil, infiltration,...
Groundwater is the main source of drinking water in both rural and urban areas Pratapgarh district eastern Uttar Pradesh. Fifty-five groundwater samples were collected from 17 blocks analyzed for fluoride (F−) other quality parameters (pH, EC, TDS, turbidity, Cl−, HCO3−, SO42−, NO3−, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, silica total hardness) to assess its suitability uses. The concentration varied between 0.41 3.99 mg/L. Fluoride about 78% exceeded acceptable level 1.0 mg/L, while 70% it maximum...
The concentrations of metals were determined seasonally to assess the probable risk on local population due ingestion via groundwater in an iron mining impacted area Jharkhand India. results depicted significant spatial and temporal variation concentration with highest values during pre-monsoon season locations active activities. Fe Mn exceeded drinking water quality standards about 75% samples considering all seasons. can be ascribed both geogenic sources anthropogenic causes as from...
