Assessment of Impacts Paper Industrial Effluent on ground water quality (original) (raw)

2017, International Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences

Water is an essential component for the survival of the eco systems and all the living organisms on the earth. Due to agricultural activities, rapid industrialization and growth in urban population, the water sources are being contaminated by anthropogenic activities. Keepingnbsp in view the rapid industrialization in East Godavari region, it is proposed to characterize the effluent water generated from the paper industry and ground water collected from the surrounding areas of the industry to assessnbsp the impact of paper industrial effluentnbsp on ground water quality .The present work is focused on characterization of effluent and ground water collectednbsp physiologicalnbsp parameters viz.,pH, EC,TDS,TH, TA, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate,nbsp Phosphate, Na, K,Ca,Mg for assessing the chemical contamination of water. Irrigation parameters like, Percent sodium, SAR, RSC, KR and MH are determined to verify the suitability of water for irrigation purposes. Further thenbsp waters are c...
