“…The median and maximum value clearly indicated that slightly reducing conditions existed in the sample collected area at a number of sites. Similar DO concentration was also reported by several authors in literature for instance; 4.32-6.83 mgl-1 [11], 4.18-7.4 mgl-1 [12].…”

“…The median sulphate concentration is estimated to be 22.5 mgl-1 for post monsoon samples. Similar sulphate concentration also reported in several literatures such as; 1.85-88.00 mgl-1 [7] 50-132 mgl-1 Angul [11] 53-256 mgl-1 1.2-207 mgl-1 in Angul [12].…”

“…The ground water alkalinity profile of the present study shows very good match with that of several literature reported value from different region of India such as 212.67-408 mgl-1 [7], 153 to 475 mgl-1 [8]. 205 -542 mgl-1 in Angul district [11] In general, the pH of the alluvial groundwater is controlled by the HCO3 and H2CO3 -buffer system, where H2CO3 stands for the sum of carbonic acid and CO2. For the collected samples, the median pH is 6.5 (min.…”

“…Similar concentrations of fluoride also have been reported by several literatures in the ranges of 0.17 mgl-1 to 5.602 mgl-1 [15]. The concentration of fluoride in Angul and Talcher zone varied 0.1 to 4.4 mgl-1 with an average value of 1.2 mgl-1 [11], [12] . During post monsoon period in some study area the concentration of fluoride is found deficient than the WHO guide line which might be due to dilution by rain water.…”

The aim of present investigation was to analyze the variations in the physio-chemical properties of the ground water of Cuttack district Odisha. In the present study 98 samples were collected and analyzed to assess the quality of ground water. The pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness and total alkalinity of the collected 98 samples were in the range of 4.6-7.3, 36-4550 μS/cm, 40-200 mgl-1, 20-680 mgl-1 respectively. Similarly, the other important water quality parameters such as; chloride, nitrate sulphate and phosphate concentration were varies between BDL-327, 1.8-86.25, BDL-194 and BDL to 3.2 mgl-1 respectively. The pH of the alluvial groundwater is controlled by the HCO3. The fluoride concentration was varies from BDL to 2.38 mgl-1. Apart from few samples, 90.81% fluoride contaminated samples comes under the category of quality group A (< 1 mgl-1flouride). Similarly, out of total samples collected only in three samples the uranium concentration estimated to be more than 5ppb. Among the water quality parameters there exist a positive correlation between pH and fluoride with a correlation coefficient of 0.641. From the correlation analysis it is found that, higher concentration of fluorid correlated with higher pH. Similarly the correlation coefficient between calcium and chloride is very high i.e. 0.500, which strongly supported the existence of calcium in the study area is predominantly in the form of CaCl2. Most of the ground water samples meet the requirements of the WHO drinking water standards with respect to salinity, main constituents and potentially toxic trace elements such as uranium

The Karur town depends on the Amaravathi River and ground water resources for their domestic, agricultural and industrial purpose. Urbanization and industrialization leads to disposal of solid waste, textile effluent and sewage which contaminate the ground water resources in this area. 40 water samples were collected from 40 different locations in Karur Town during summer and rainy seasons. Their physio-chemical characteristics such as pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca 2+ ), magnesium (Mg 2+ ), sodium (Na + ), and potassium (K + ) are analysed and the result is compared with the WHO standards of drinking water quality. The study indicates that groundwater near Amaravathi river basiin area are not fit for human with consider to many parameters.

In this study, the spatial distribution of fluoride, uranium, and associated water quality parameters in the drinking water of the Cuttack district, Odisha, India, has been analyzed. A total of 104 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed. The experimental data were analyzed by statistical techniques and the universal inverse distance weighting model. The pH of the collected groundwater samples is mainly regulated by the presence of HCO 3 − alkali species. The fluoride concentrations in 34.6% of the samples exceeded the Bureau of Indian Standards' acceptable limit. The health risk assessment was conducted as per guidelines of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.The noncarcinogenic health risk of fluoride is the maximum and is followed by nitrate.Almost 56.73% of water samples are classified under the noncarcinogenic health risk category, and 1.9% of samples exhibit a carcinogenic health risk for both adults and children. The noncarcinogenic health risk for children is higher than for adults. pH was positively correlated with fluoride with a correlation coefficient of 0.287, which indicated that the higher pH augmented the displacement of fluoride ions from the mineral surface. HCO 3 − and Ca 2+ are moderately correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.372, but HCO 3 − is negatively correlated with Mg 2+ (r = −0.049), indicating that calcite dissolution and/or precipitation is much higher than dolomite.
