“…Deshpande et al (2005) noticed hardness range 264 ppm to 319 ppm at Ramtek Tehsil, Nagpur. Kurakalva et al (2016) found higher value of total hardness (TH) of groundwater samples from 120 to 525 mg/L at Jawaharnagar municipal solid waste dumping site at greater Hyderabad. In the present study the total hardness of all experimental sites were within the desirable range of BIS but it was observed that the experimental sites had higher total hardness (141.61 to 240.41 ppm) than control site (138.65 ppm) which may be due to leaching of higher Ca and Mg species from waste affected soil in the ground water of the experimental sites.…”

The present study observed groundwater quality around Chandi Devi bridge open dumping site at Hardwar (Uttarakhand), India. Five experimental sites viz. sites 2,3 and 5 (hand pumps) and two sites 4,6 (tubewells) within the vicinity of the dumpsite and a reference site viz. site 1 (hand pump) (Bilkeshwar temple) as a control about 5000 meter away, were selected to ascertain the influence of solid waste dumping on groundwater quality around the area. The study showed that physicochemical parameters viz temperature, colour, turbidity, pH, hardness, BOD, COD, fluoride and heavy metals ( lead and iron) of the ground water near the dumping sites-2,3,4,5,6 were higher than their counterpart parameters of the ground water at control site. However, arsenic was not detected in any sample of all the sites. The parameters viz., colour (2.08-3.49 hazen), turbidity (3.05-5.35 NTU), odour (agreeable), pH (7.46-7.80),fluoride (0.10-0.38 ppm), lead (0.00-0.032 ppm), iron (0.01-0.03 ppm) of ground water of all experimental sites were within permissible limits while the parameters BOD (3.73-3.21 ppm), hardness (240.41-203.15 ppm) at site-2, site-3 and DO (5.38-6.28 ppm) of all experimental sites were not found within permissible limits as prescribed by Bureau of Indian standards (2012). Although water was safe for drinking which may be due to higher infiltration rate of river Ganga and Eastern Ganga Canal water but higher value of temperature ( o C), colour (hazen), turbidity (ppm), hardness (ppm), BOD (ppm), COD (ppm) fluoride (ppm), iron (ppm) and lead (ppm) at site-2 was quite alarming. The study would help in making public awareness for waste sorting, adopting green technology and to predict level of contaminants in ground water produced by land filling dumping site.

“…As we discussed above, groundwater quality assessment studies around Jawaharnagar municipal solid waste dumping site indicating that the pollution source is dominated over natural process in the vicinity of studied area. However the excess nitrate contamination is expected due landfill activities [2]. The analysis of NO 3 -concentration distribution shows that agricultural activities (e.g.…”

“…Among the various anions determined in groundwater samples, HCO 3 -, Cl -, SO 4 2-are the major anions identified in the groundwater. This could be due to available carbonates in the rocks might have been dissolved and added to the groundwater system during irrigation, rainfall infiltration and groundwater movement increase the bicarbonate [2]. Long-term ingestion of high-fluoride groundwater is the major reason for endemic fluorosis, a condition that affects human health by causing damage to bones and joints (e.g.…”

“…The low concentration is perhaps due to its requirement for several microbial enzymatic activities. It appears that there is no indicator compounds that is unique to landfill leachate which is not presented in uncontaminated water [2].…”
