Description :
Abstract:
Physico-chemical analysis such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), chloride (Cl¯), nitrate (NOᴣ¯), iron (Fe) and fluoride (F¯) of borewell water of selected villages Etapalli taluka, district Gadchiroli (M.S.) Was carried out during January 2015 to assess the quality of borewell water. After the analysis of different physico-chemical parameters (using Indian standards), the suitability of ground water for drinking and domestic purposes could be ascertained. Borewell water samples collected from the villages Kudri tola, Langi, Tadguda and Geratola were found to be under threat due to high iron and fluoride concentration. TDS at Langi and Kondawahi village were found higher than recommended limit. Nitrate concentration was also found at higher level at Geratola village. Therefore it is recommended to take the drinking water issue at higher public health concern.
Keywords : Physico-chemical analysis, drinking water, borewells of selected villages, Etapalli taluka, Gadchiroli district.
