A correlation study on physico- chemical characteristics of ground water in Thane-Belapur Industrial area, Mumbai

Abstract

Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human need and therefore, a basic right. Contaminated water jeopardizes both. The physical and social health of all people and it is an affront to human dignity (MNB Momba et. al 2006). Increasing living standards, Growing population, rapid industrialization and wide sphere of human activities have brought greater stress on land and water, which in turn results in steadily increase in the demand for water resources. (Venkatasubramani et. al. 2006).According to the World Health Organization about 80% of all the diseases of human beings are caused by water, therefore, water other purposes must be of good quality. The present investigations aimed to calculate the quality of ground water in the Thane-Belapur Industrial Area. The Ground water is generally contaminated in shallow aquifers which have direct or indirect hydraulic continuity with the ground surface (Behnke, 1975).

Tap water quality assessment of some selected regions of Mhow, District Indore India

“…Results of present investigation also in conformities with the fi nding of previous authors in context of studied parameters. Besides this, results of present work are also supported by several workers, (Chapolikar, and Ubale 2010;Manjappa et al, 2011;Arya al., 2012;Nagarnaik and Patil, 2012;Kumar et al, 2013;Chandne, 2014;Leelavathi et al, 2016;Prajapati and Rokde, 2016;Behailu et al, 2017;Soni and Singh, 2018).…”

Concentrations of Lead in Groundwater and Human Blood in the Population of Palosai, a Rural Area in Pakistan: Human Exposure and Risk Assessment

“…Chloride values higher than the acceptable limits harm metallic pipes and agricultural crops. It can also cause kidney and heart diseases in human [43]. Similarly, the concentration of sulphate was observed to be in the range of 45 to 130 mg/L.…”

Computational Image based Approach to study the Impact of Industrial Effluent on Groundwater and River Quality in Ballarpur, Maharashtra State, India

“…The chloride in the tube well water samples B-4, B-5 and B-6 was found to be 131.95 mg/l, 105.96 mg/l and 145.95 mg/l. High chloride content in water bodies, harms agricultural crops, metallic pipes and injurious to people suffering due to heart and kidney disease [9]. The permissible limit for chloride is 250 mg/l.…”
