“…The various factors that govern the release of fluoride into the water from fluoride-bearing minerals are the chemical composition of the water, the presence and accessibility of fluoride minerals to water, and the contact time between the source mineral and water. Overall water quality (e.g., pH, alkalinity, hardness, and ionic strength) also plays an important role by influencing mineral solubility, complexation and sorption/exchange reactions (Apambire et al 1997;Meenakshi et al 2004;Raju et al 2009). Hence during the chemical reaction, fluoride can easily replace OH -ions in many rock-forming minerals.…”

The present study deals with the groundwater quality with respect to F -in the Mandavi Taluka of Surat city with an objective to analyze the spatial variability of ground water quality parameter. A total 57 representative groundwater samples from different bore wells and hand pumps were collected during pre-monsoon. Samples were analyzed for various physiochemical parameters including fluoride. GIS technique is adopted to prepare DEM and spatial distribution map of fluoride to represent fluoride concentration in the study area. Results obtained from analysis with GIS mapping reveal that fluoride in the study is mainly attributed to geogenic source.

“…Hardness is measured in terms of total hardness and calcium hardness. Total hardness varies form 200-750 mg/ lit mostly exceeds the maximum permissible limits of WHO [22][23][24][25] . Hardness although has no health effects it can make water unsuitable for domestic and industrial use 1 .…”

The present study was carried out to assess the ground water quality of various location of Saltaua Gopalpur block of Basti district during June-July 2013. Total 10 water samples were collected from hand pumps at different locations in and around Saltaua Gopalpur block. The water samples were analyzed for their physico-chemical characteristics, viz .pH, turbidity, chloride, total hardness, fluoride, nitrate, Iron and free chlorine. On comparing the results against water quality standards and standard values recommended by World Health Organization (WHO), it is found that most of the water samples are very hard and unsuitable for drinking purposes.

“…Studies already link fluoride to cancer, genetic defects, IQ deficits, thyroid dysfunction, kidney, tooth and bone damage [42; 43; 44]. The minimum and maximum Fluoride concentration in water depends on temperature and geographical region [45] so that it is reduced either by an increase in temperature or in coastal areas. Generally speaking, proper Fluoride concentration in water is estimated between 0.5 to 1.5 mg/L [46].…”

Precise classification and identification of groundwater quality is an essential task for meeting the goals of environmental management. Traditional classification methods of the water quality parameters use crisp set with prescribed limits of various organization. One of the decision making problems about water quality using methods is facing various uncertainties. Recent years have proven fuzzy-logicbased methods capability controlling uncertainties in different environmental problems. The present study utilized a newly devised Mamdani fuzzy inference system to assess groundwater quality in Yazd province. This method made use of 10 measured chemical parameters in 60 samples of groundwater. The samples were collected from wells, springs and kanats. The results showed that 20 groundwater samples were in the "Desirable" class with a certainty level of 32.29-100%, and 20 samples were in the "Acceptable" group with a certainty level of 37.07-92%, and 20 samples were in the "Non-acceptable" category with a certainty level of 43.33-88.78% for potable purposes.
