It is impossible to survive without water. Around 80 percent of the world's wastewater is dumped directly in the groundwater which goes back to the environment polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans unsafe drinking water kills more people as compared to any other epidemic.It is said that less than 1 % of earth fresh water is actually assessable to us .In the present study ,the physico-chemical characteristics (Fluoride, Nitrate) of the groundwater of Manesar area of District Gurgaon, Haryana, India were assessed for its consumption for drinking purposes. A total of 30 samples were taken from near about 12 sampling sites all the samples were from borewells, tubewells. Water samples were tested in lab for the following physcio-Chemical parameters like(TDS) Total Dissolved Solids,(EC)(Electrical conductivity, Fluoride, Nitrate. The results were compared with the Standards prescribed by(WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Standard deviation and Standard Error calculation is also being done on the sample concentration of Fluoride and Nitrate. (EC) Electrical conductivity in all samples was found above 400 u/cm and (TDS) value in all samples was found above 500 mg/l. Fluoride concentration found in few village samples of Manesar area is found to be above 1.5 mg/l (limit prescribed by WHO. Where as some of the other villages like have fluoride concentration in their groundwater samples with in limit prescribed by WHO (1.5mg/l). Nitrate concentration found in the ground water samples some of the village found to be above (45 mg/l) (limit prescribed by WHO) where as in groundwater samples of few village samples were found to be having nitrate concentration between 40 to 45 mg/l (limit prescribed by WHO). It is advised to community to use ground water only after properly treating it to avoid getting affected by Diseases caused by the contamination of Drinking water.
The Quality of Groundwater in Jaipur Region with Emphasis to Fluoride Concentration
2014
The problem of high fluoride in groundwater is one of the most important health related geo-environmental issue. It is beneficial up to certain limits but excess intake (i.e. >1.5mg/L) may cause fluorosis. Fluoride in groundwater was studied in Sanganer tehsil of Jaipur district. 18 villages were under surveillance. Groundwater samples were periodically collected and analyzed for physicochemical parameters including Fluoride (F), pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), total hardness, Calcium (Ca), Chloride (Cl) and alkalinity. The analytical results revealed considerable variations in the chemical composition of water samples. Fluoride concentration varies from 0.20 to 6.45 mg/L.
Groundwater quality in some villages of Haryana, India: focus on fluoride and fluorosis
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2004
The fluoride concentration in underground water was determined in four villages of Jind district of Haryana state (India) where it is the only source of drinking water. Various other water quality parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved salts, total hardness, total alkalinity as well as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride and sulfate concentrations were also measured. A systematic calculation of correlation coefficients among different physico-chemical parameters was performed. The analytical results indicated considerable variations among the analyzed samples with respect to their chemical composition. Majority of the samples do not comply with Indian as well as WHO standards for most of the water quality parameters measured. The fluoride concentration in the underground water of these villages varied from 0.3 to 6.9 mg/l, causing dental fluorosis among people especially children of these villages. Overall water quality was found unsatisfactory for drinking purposes without any prior treatment except at eight locations out of 60.
Water is an important natural aid for retaining lifestyles and environment but over the last few many years the water exceptional is deteriorating because of it over exploitation. Water excellent is vital parameter to be studied while the general recognition is sustainable development retaining mankind at focal element. Groundwater is the most supply of consuming water in rural in addition to in urban regions and over 94% of the ingesting water call for is met via groundwater. The have a take a look at come to be completed to assess the ground water nice and its suitability for ingesting motive with specific reference to fluoride and nitrate infection in maximum rural habitations of Nawalgarh tehsil of district Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, India. for that reason, 20 water samples accumulated from hand pumps, open wells and bore wells of villages of have a examine location had been analyzed for first rate physico-chemical parameters which includes pH, electrical conductivity, preferred alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, chloride, nitrate, fluoride and sizable dissolved solids. The examine famous that most people parameters have been exceeding the permissible limits. As in line with the proper and most permissible limit for fluoride and nitrate in consuming water, decided via WHO, BIS and ICMR requirements, 62% and 42% of groundwater resources are undeserving for consuming abilities respectively. Because of the better fluoride and nitrate stages in eating water several instances of dental, skeletal fluorosis and so on. Have appeared at alarming rate in this region. After comparing the statistics of this check it's far concluded that ingesting water of Nawalgarh tehsil isn't always potable and there is an right now need to take ameliorative steps on this location to save you the populace from negative fitness results.

This study aimed to determine the fluoride concentration in drinking water and assess its health risks by analyzing 12 physicochemical parameters, including fluoride, pH, EC, TDS, chloride, carbonate and bicarbonate (alkalinity), sulfate, nitrate, calcium, and magnesium hardness. Correlation analysis, WQI, and HRA were used to determine whether groundwater in the study area was suitable for drinking. Correlation analysis showed that fluoride was negatively correlated with EC (-0.649), CO32- (-0.855) and positively correlated with Mg2+ (+0.559). All water samples exceeded the permissible fluoride limits according to BIS (IS 10500:2012). The WQI for all water samples was more than 100, indicating that the water was not suitable for drinking. Health risk assessment was also performed to determine the risks of non-carcinogenic diseases. The Hazard Index (HI) was determined as greater than 1. The HI ranged from 1.275 to 3.346 for adult men, 1.431 to 3.954 for adult women, and 1.986 to 5....

Hydrogeological investigations have been carried out in rural parts of Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, India where agriculture is the main occupation. Granite gneisses associated with schists and charnockites are the main lithological formations, which are overlain by black cotton soils. Groundwaters are alkaline, very hard and mostly brackish. Possible sources of fluoride (F-) are weathering and leaching of F-bearing minerals under the alkaline environment. A high rate of evapotranspiration, longer residence time of waters in the aquifer zone, intensive and longterm irrigation, and heavy use of fertilizers are the supplementary factors to further increase the Fcontent in the groundwaters. The investigated area has been classified into three types with reference to concentration of Fprescribed for drinking: low-F-(<0.60 mg l-1), moderate-F-(0.60-1.20 mg l-1) and high-F-(>1.20 mg l-1). Forty-five percent of the total groundwater samples belong to the high-Fcategory. Dental fluorosis is noticed in the region. A groundwater management programme is suggested.

In the present study, the groundwater quality in Rajnandgaon District of Chhattisgarh State in Central India is assessed. A total of 90 Groundwater (GW) samples are collected during Monsoon (M) and Non-Monsoon (NM) periods from various existing bore wells and tube wells in the study area, and they were analyzed for estimating the Fluoride (F -) concentration in the existing GW with a special emphasis. The Physico-Chemical characteristics, in addition to the concentration of major Anions and Cations in the existing GW were also assessed. The results reveal that the fluoride concentrations in the existing GW in Rajnandgaon District is ranging >0.50 to <5.07 p.p.m. Most of the places in the study area are affected by high fluoride concentrations, and is evident from the 23% of total samples collected showing >1.5 p.p.m. of fluoride concentration, which is a maximum permissible limit recently suggested by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) (BIS: 10500, 2010). It is also seen that the fluoride is having poorly and burly positive correlations with calcium and sodium, respectively. Further, the study also includes the verification of suitability of GW for drinking in the study area.
