“…The physico-chemical characteristics (pH, EC, TDS, anions and cations) and hydrochemistry of coal mine water of several coal mines of India were investigated by several authors (Ahmed et al, 2022;Deb et al, 2008;Kumar & Singh, 2016;Singh et al, 2005Singh et al, , 2010Singh et al, , 2011Singh et al, , 2012Yadav & Jamal, 2018). The concentrations of heavy metals (i.e., Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, As, Se, Al, Cd, and Cr) spatio-temporal variations, source apportionment and heavy metal pollution indices of coal mining area of Damodar river basin, India was studied by (Mahato et al, 2017).…”

Several million tons of coal are extracted which discharge the contaminated mineral water into the environment in the coal mines located in the Korba basin (Chhattisgarh, India) chosen as the study area. The aim of this work is to describe: (i) the physico‐chemical characteristics (pH, EC, TDS, DO, RP, CC (carbonate carbon), OC (organic carbon) F−, Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, SiO44−, PO43−, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Al, As, Sb, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Hg) of the coal mine water samples, (ii) spatial, seasonal (i.e. PrM (pre‐monsoon), M (monsoon) and PtM (post monsoon) and temporal (over the period of 2012–2017) variations, (iii) sources of contaminants from fourteen coal mines, (iv) suitability of the water for drinking and other uses, and (v) health impact of the mine water in view of developing remedial approaches.The mine water is neutral in nature with high TDS (total dissolved solid) values ranging from 620 to 13711 mg L−1 due to mainly high carbon content. The concertation of all species lies between 519–11432 mg L−1 with maximum value of OC. The most dominating species were OC, CC, Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, Na, and Ca. Species, that is, F−, OC, Al, Fe, As, Sb, Cd, Pb, and Hg occurred beyond their limits. Their higher concentration in the PtM is observed. Water quality index (WQI) values ranged from 17.52 to 95.68 in the PtM period. 42.85%, 21.42%, and 7.14% of water samples represent “excellent water”, “good water” and “poor water” respectively in the PtM period. In addition, the fertilizer and trace element concentrations in the water samples were compared with the limit values determined for usability as drinking water. Accordingly, it was concluded that it is not suitable for use as drinking water in terms of TDS, F−, and NO3− concentrations. In addition, AsT (total arsenic), F− and NO3− pollutants were detected in the water samples, and it was observed that F− and NO3− ions did not have a carcinogenic effect. A health risk assessment of As has been made, and it is found that adults and children have a low risk of developing cancer from the exposure. However, arsenic has high non‐carcinogenic and potentially harmful effects.

“…Total dissolved solids are considered a major factor for the taste of water and for growth of plants. 11,12 The presences of total dissolved solids (TDS) in water resources also play a significant role to decide its suitability of water for different uses 13 ; therefore, the water of Guenitra dam is suitable for irrigation and drinking. The level of TDS depends on several factors such as the geological character of the watershed, rainfall, and the amount of surface runoff.…”

The objective of the study was to assess physicochemical parameters of Guenitra dam. We investigate its water quality from March to May 2017 by monitoring some important physical (EC, turbidity and Total Hardness) and chemical (pH, Ca +2 , Mg +2 , Cl -, SO4 -2 and TDS) parameters and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) contents. The results indicated that most of the physicochemical parameters from Guenitra basin were within or at the margin in comparison to the permissible limit of Algerian standards and WHO for drinking and irrigation water and therefore, may be suitable for domestic purposes, but it requires noticeable consideration due to extreme changes in climate and increase in pollution.

“…The pH value plays a vital role in determining the acidic or alkaline nature of water and widely used for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses. 14 The contribution of fluoride concentration in the water is primarily due to the chemical composition of the rock formation. Apart from the other physical and chemical parameters, the health hazards parameters such as TDS, Fluoride and Nitrate have been given more priority as it affects the human health system.…”

Rapid urbanization and climate change lead to a rise in the frequency of dangerous water-related happenings such as flood and drought. This causes a negative impact on the environment, economy and human health. Depending upon the local conditions and sanitation facilities of an area, the flood water can contaminate drinking water sources such as surface water, groundwater, and even the water distribution systems. The study was carried out to examine the impact of a flood event on water quality after 2015 flood in Kancheepuram district. Groundwater samples from Urapakkam, Guduvancheri, Kattankulathur, and Maraimalai Nagar were collected and tested for analyzing the quality of water in these regions. Different physio-chemical parameters were compared with the permissible limits formulated by the World Health Organization -Drinking water quality standards to assess the impact of the flood on water quality. During the flood, the quality of water was considerably good, but due to human activities in the region, the quality of water deteriorated post-flood.
