“…Ground water is the major source of drinking water in both urban and rural areas and it is also an important source for the industrial and agriculture sectors [1]. Water quality is of significant importance of water uses [2]. Ground water quality in a region is largely influenced by both natural processes and by manmade inputs.…”

Abstract-In recent days ground water quality is deteriorating at alarming rate due to increased industrial activities. This study assessed the water quality of 30 samples collected from 4 locations of Pydibhimavaram industrial area. An investigation was carried out by collecting a total of 30 ground water samples for three seasons in study area to assess the ground water quality for its suitability for agriculture and domestic purpose. This study focused on variation of water quality parameters with reference to water level fluctuations. The well reduced levels were determined with the help of total station and these levels are connected to the mean sea level. Ground water levels from the well top surface were measured using water level indicator. Water quality parameters such as pH, total hardness, chlorides (Cl), iron (Fe), electric conductivity (E.C), sulphates (SO 4 2-), nitrates (NO 3 -), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) were analyzed. These parameters were estimated using standard procedures and the results were compared with environmental quality standards. The results indicated that the water quality of the study area exceed the permissible limits of standards. This showed that the ground water of the study area was contaminated due to the industrial effluents.Index Terms-Water quality, assessment, heavy metals, industrial area, ground water levels.

“…The water quality of the reservoir with reference to organic load is generally depending on the usage of water and settlements around the river basin [18,19]. Numerous studies on water quality assessment and tropic state index were conducted in different reservoir systems [20][21][22][23][24]. Eutrophication in these reservoirs is mostly due to overloading of nutrients from external sources derived from insufficiently treated sewage effluents and agricultural runoff [25][26][27].…”

Time-series observations were conducted in the Dowleiswaram dam reservoir that was constructed on the largest monsoonal river in India to understand the source of inorganic carbon, and fluxes to the atmosphere. The reservoir stores water during dry period of six months and water increases during the period when Indian subcontinent receives significant rainfall. Significant modification of organic matter was noticed during storage period indicated by decrease in pH from 7.5 to 6.4 and oxygen saturation from ~95% to 65%. The relationship of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) with oxygen saturation, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and isotopic ratios of DIC suggests that heterotrophic activities are the major source of inorganic carbon to the reservoir. In addition to this, ground water exchange also contributes significantly to the inorganic carbon pool in the reservoir. Nutrients released due to decomposition of organic matter in the reservoir supports both autotrophic and heterotrophic activities. The pCO₂ levels in the reservoir varied between 3944 and 16,042 μatm and higher pCO₂ levels were noticed during peak discharge period. The annual mean CO₂ fluxes from the reservoir amounted to 112 ± 126 mmolC m^-2·d^-1 and ~6 times higher fluxes were noticed during discharge period compared to dry period and such high fluxes during discharge period were contributed by both high pCO₂ levels and winds. It was further noticed that dam reservoir is a strong source of pCO₂ to the estuary wherein <1000 μatm of pCO₂show abstract
