“…However, RSC of Yamuna water at various sampling sites in all seasons was negative and good for use in agriculture (Table 4).These results are also in conformity with the findings on RSC of river water by Haritash et al, (2016). Boron Boron, an essential element for crop plants becomes toxic above critical levels (Wimmer, 2013).…”

“…Sodium adsorption ratio or sodicity is the measure of relative concentration of sodium with respect to calcium and magnesium in groundwater (Haritash et al 2014;Iqbal et al 2012). The SAR is calculated using the following equation (Richards et al 1954): The classifications of groundwater sample based on SAR are mentioned in the Table 5.…”

Totally about 174 groundwater samples have been collected during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season to study the suitability for domestic and agriculture purposes along the coastal aquifers of Puducherry region. Parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), bicarbonate (HCO 3 ), chloride (Cl) and sulfate (SO 4 ) were analyzed to assess the suitability of groundwater for domestic purposes. Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), magnesium adsorption ratio (MAR), residual sodium bicarbonate (RSC), soluble sodium percentage (Na%), permeability index (PI) and chlorinity index were assessed for irrigation purposes. The higher concentration of ions such as Na, Ca, Cl and So 4 indicates seawater intrusion, mineral dissolution, intense agricultural practices and improper sewage disposal. The level of EC, TDS and hardness in the water samples indicates that maximum of them are suitable for drinking and domestic purposes. The parameters such as SAR, Na%, PI, MAR and Chlorinity index indicates that majority of water sample are very good to moderately suitable for agriculture. In pre-monsoon, RSC of about 5.7% of samples was higher which when used for a longer time alter the soil properties and reduce crop production. Wilcox diagram suggests that water samples are of medium saline to low sodium type indicating that groundwater is suitable for irrigation. Temporal variation of groundwater quality shows significant increasing trend in EC, TDS and ions like Mg, K and Cl in the last decade, mainly due to anthropogenic activities with little geogenic impact in the quality of groundwater.

The water quality in mines is a major issue of concern globally. Coal mines in India have relating good quality of water with only a few exceptions. There are more than 36 parameters to explain the quality of water in a particular water body. There may be one index value which will decide the quality of water in quantitative terms. In this paper, an attempt has been made to give an index of water collected from coal mines of India with the help of methods of water quality index available. The water samples collected from mines were analyzed for 13 physicochemical parameters likes, pH, turbidity, hardness, magnesium, chloride, calcium, nitrate, sulphate, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, iron, DO and BOD. The water quality index of these mine water samples varies from 26.79 to 19719.84.The higher value of WQI has been found very inferior quality due to the presence of iron, nitrate, hardness and sulphate, in the sump water sample. The obtained results from laboratory analysis can be used to propose suitable treatment process for using the water for different purposes.
