to 16 miles. The core cities, together with its nine surrounding municipalities are covering an area of 500 square km. The
Hyderabad city discharges about 600 million litres per day untreated sewerage water into Musi River. A stretch of 13 Km
from Nagole /Uppal IDA to Prathap Singaram is chosen as the study area as it is surrounded by more than 25 industries
and their effluents are directly drawn into Musi River (IOSR-JESTFT 2012) [1]. The Musi River water is used for irrigation during
its course of travel which leads to adverse effects on both flora and fauna. The bore well water samples in the radius of 1
km are collected at ten distant places at certain intervals along the Musi River to know the quality parameters. The
collected samples are tested in the Telangana State Ground Water Department (GWD) to access the quality. The
chemical analyses data for both Musi River and bore well water samples are obtained from the GWD for study and
interpretation including its impact. Rainfall data of Uppal Mandal for 10 years beginning 2005 onwards is also collected
from weather station of Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Rajendra Nagar, and Hyderabad for further studies. It
is worthy to note that only Nitrates are recorded as high in all the samples when compared to the BIS standards otherwise,
the remaining parameters are in the normal range [4]. Among 10 stations, 8 stations are having high Nitrate (NO as N) 3
values in which the highest Nitrate value of 35.40 mg/lts is observed from station-5 of R-Krishnaiah Nagar (V), Hayath
Nagar (M) and station-9 i.e. of Submerged Well situated within the radius of 1 km from Thimmaiguda (V), Ghatkesar (M).
Further, it is observed that bore well water samples of 1, 3, 6 and 9 are witnessed with moderate concentration of EC, TDS,
Cl, Cam TH and NO whereas Musi River sample collected near R-Krishnaiah Nagar is witnessed with moderate to high 3
concentrations of EC, TDS, Cl, Na, K, TH and NO . The objective of the article is to minimize the impact of effluents and 3
industrial wastes discharged by the industries by establishing more treatment plants.

Its quality is important as it affects haling of people, animals and also influences environmental hazard. Ground water pollution is from domestic wastes, industrial wastes, sea water intrusion and use of pesticides in agriculture. The article focuses on the ground water quality deterioration of Patancheruvu industrial belt in Medak district. The pollution is from Fluoride, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead in the effluent water of pharmaceutical factories in Patancheruvu area. Further studies should be carried out because all the valance states of arsenic are not toxic in nature and it is essential to find out whether arsenic is present in the form of As+3/As+5. An integrated approach, planning and implementation are essential for the sustainable development and management of ground water. Measures like treatment of industrial pollution water is suggested for Patancheruvu area. The article suggests the formulation of action plans for effective, sustained and scientifically correct use of ground water resources.

It provides water when there is a drought, can help mitigate flooding of low-lying areas and reduces demand on wells which may enable ground water levels to be sustained. It also helps in the availability of potable water as rainwater is substantially free of salinity and other harmful salts.
Improved water quality can be obtained by using a Pre-filtration which is a common practice used in the domestic / industry sectors to ensure that the water entering the tank is free of large sediment. Pre-filtration is important to keep the system healthy. The main purpose of the rain water harvesting is to utilize the locally available rain water to meet water requirements throughout the year without the need of huge capital expenditure. This would facilitate availability of uncontaminated water for domestic, industrial and irrigation needs. Soil and water conservation as well as water harvesting will go a long way towards reducing misuse of government funds.
