ABSTRACT:
Underground water still is a major source of drinking water in India and contamination of it may leads to a major cause of various deadly diseases. Water contamination can be considered as destruction to the quality of water or a kind of water pollution. Presence of such contaminants or pollutants unify together to degrade quality and nature of water. In present scenario, one can considered humans as a primary source of water contamination rather than the natural disasters. Water consist of various types of anions which are responsible for maintaining the quality of the it, they includes Chloride (Cl-), Sulphate (SO4--), Carbonate (CO32-) and bicarbonate (HCO3-), Phosphate (PO43-), Nitrate (NO3--) and Fluoride (F-). The concentration of theses anions are maintained by the presence of certain cations like Ca++, Cu++, Mg++, Na+, and K+. The root cause of hardness of water is the concentration of Ca++ and Mg++ present in the water and these were present in excess in the sample collected from underground water in the area, where manufacturing of chalk and limestone works take place. This hard water is not suitable of any one of us whether it may be humans or animals for drinking and if consumed may leads to various ill effect. Water samples were collected during summer from different locations of CB Ganj, Bareilly near to the location of the industry with limestone works.
