“…Moreover, the shallow groundwater level of the lower Gangetic belt has a significant risk of F – mobilization in the depth zone of 0–30.5 m. ,, About 13 and 26% of the groundwater samples from Rajpur Sonarpur Municipality ( n = 984) were reported with F – concentration above ≥1.5 and ≥1 mg/L, respectively . Likewise, the spatial uncertainty of F – depends on the geological conditions that play an important role in the aquifer level. , The alluvial and sandy loam nature of the soil in the studied area might be responsible for F – mobilization in groundwater which is supported by other study …”

The lower Gangetic Plain in West Bengal, India, has previously been reported to have groundwater fluoride (F − ) contamination and its hazard; however, more information was needed about the precise location of contamination. The current study highlighted these knowledge gaps covering the toxicity of F − through groundwater by emphasizing the role of hydrogeochemical attributions in F − mobilization, people's socioeconomic behavior, and assessing the possible health risks of the local population. Approximately, 10% of groundwater samples exceeded the recommended value of F − with a moderate contamination factor. The groundwater is highly saline (Na−Cl type) in nature. The intermediate zone between the area of 'rock dominance' and 'precipitation dominance' controlled the leaching of F − from host silicate minerals to groundwater. The saturation index established geogenic activity as the responsible factor and found silicate weathering mineral muscovite for F − leaching in groundwater. The average utility cost for 20 L of safe drinking water was US$ 7.58 per month from affordable households. Total hazard quotient (THQ) was observed maximum for infants and significant ingestion rate (IR), body weight (BW), and body surface area (SA) were the responsible factors for the studied age groups. Fluoride-safe drinking water supply strategies are a necessary step in the studied area.

The soils of Vallanadu were characterized based on morphological, physico-chemical properties for land evaluation and classification. The soils were very shallow to deep, red to yellowish in colour, sandy loam to sandy clay in texture and had sub-angular blocky and angular blocky structures. The sand, silt and clay varied from 46.7 to 82.14%, 2.95 to 33.74% and 8.15 to 44.1% respectively. The soils were moderately acidic to moderately alkaline, non-saline, low to medium in organic carbon. The CEC varied from 4.5 to 16 Cmol (p + )kg -1 and dominated by Ca 2+ >Mg 2+ >K + >Na + . The soils were low, medium, low to medium in available NPK respectively. Among the micronutrients, Fe and Mn were sufficient, Zn & Cu were deficient. The soils were classified as Typic Rhodustalf, Typic Haplustalf and Typic Haplustepts. The soils were evaluated as land capability sub-class of IVs, IVes and land irrigability sub-classes of 2s, 3s and 3st.

“…The texture of the soils varied from sandy to clay. This might be due to different combinations of weathering process and soil-forming factors (climate, parent material, topography, biota and vegetation) and processes caused at different times (Srinivasan et al, 2016). The structure of soils was subangular blocky to crumb type.…”

Six soil series representing major coconut growing soils of the Eastern Ghats in Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu State, India, were evolved from granite gneiss and alluvium parent materials. Characterization of different soil properties was done using a detailed soil survey at 1:10000 scale. The soils were neutral to moderately alkaline in reaction (7.31 to 9.19), non-saline, poor to moderately well-drained and moderately shallow (<75 cm) to very deep (>150 cm) in depth. The soils were sandy to clay in texture, sub-angular blocky to crumb in structure, dark reddish-brown to brown, very low to high in OC content (0.06 to 2.70%), low to medium in AWC (3.44 to 22.39%), low to high in CEC (4.70 to 54.0 cmol (p+) kg-1) and having high base saturation (77 to 100%). The soils also had sizable amounts of exchangeable sodium (4.29 to 33.46%), which was maximum in P5, P6 and P1, and high clay content in P5 and P2. The distribution of CaCO3 in different depths was found to be maximum in P4 and P1. The soil orders identified in the coconut area were Inceptisols, Entisols, Alfisols and Vertisols. Assessment of soil resources and identification of yield-limiting soils factors on coconut could be by way of better management and improved productivity.
