IMPACT OF WASTEWATER EFFLUENTS ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF GROUNDWATER

摘要: A significant number of today’s groundwater contamination problems stem from man’s activities and can be introduced into variety sources. One the major source of groundwater are surface impoundments used by municipalities and industries which dispose off wastewater  without  treatment  to  the  receiving  bodies or farmers for agriculture purpose. This research work was carried to investigate level determination physical chemical properties  of  groundwater  and  recommend preventive measures for reduction groundwater. It was observed that quality is deteriorated because higher concentration of electrical conductivity ranging 3348 6333 μS/cm as compared E. U. guideline value of 4000 μS/cm, shows increase 8 18 times, whereas, total dissolved solids range between 1992 4018 mg/l indicates three times hardness ranges 520 977 mg/l indicates two values WHO standards. It recommended only treated may growing vegetable crops after complete investigation physical, biological characteristics effluents. Preventive must taken contaminated intrusion up the groundwater.
