Assessment of ground water quality of Laksar block in district Haridwar, Uttarakhand

Abstract

The present study was aimed to identify the ground water contamination problems in Laksar block of district Haridwar. The ground water samples were collected from 6 different locations of Laksar block. The Physico -chemical parameters were assessed to check either the water is suitable or not for drinking purpose. The Physico-chemical parameters such Temperature, Total hardness (TH), Calcium Hardness (CaH), Acidity, Chloride, Sulphate, pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) were analysed as per standard methods. In this study values of different parameters were recorded such as acidity (78.6 to 79.4 mg/l), pH (6.36 to7.11), chloride (111.8 to 113.8 mg/l) and total hardness (370.2 to 374.6 mg/l) respectively. This study revealed that water samples may raise concern on the safety of the water for human health may cause the various water borne disease, therefore, the proper hygiene and purification techniques should be recommended.

Quality assessment of groundwater at Laksar Block, Haridwar in Uttarakhand, India using Water Quality Index: A case study

“…Less than 1% of the available water is accessible for drinking purpose (Verma et al, 2018). Out of the entire sector, the maximum amount of groundwater is utilized in agriculture (Bhutiani et al, 2018a). Due to the excess use of water, two problems grow simultaneously.…”

Spatial analysis of ground water level and fluctuation at regional level in North-East of Haryana: Reference to Karnal District, India

“…Occurrence of groundwater in such rocks is essentially confined to fractured and weathered horizons. In India and certain parts of the world, water crisis is becoming a regular phenomenon, perhaps due to improper scientific management of water resources leading to continued environmental degradation (Bhutiani et al, 2018). Poor knowledge about this resource, because of its hidden in nature and its occurrence in complex subsurface formations, has been and is still a big obstacle to the efficient management of this important resource.…”
