“…Similarly, the minimum uranium concentration found to be BDL and maximum of 6.5 ppb for post monsoon period of the study area. Similarly uranium concentration in ground water of India reported in several literatures for instance; 1.08 to 35.83 ppb in Kumaun and Siwalik [17], 1.08 to 19.68 ppb in Siwaliks [18] Most of these samples i.e. 77.5% (76 samples out of 98) were found to be below the detection limit for post monsoon period.…”

The aim of present investigation was to analyze the variations in the physio-chemical properties of the ground water of Cuttack district Odisha. In the present study 98 samples were collected and analyzed to assess the quality of ground water. The pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness and total alkalinity of the collected 98 samples were in the range of 4.6-7.3, 36-4550 μS/cm, 40-200 mgl-1, 20-680 mgl-1 respectively. Similarly, the other important water quality parameters such as; chloride, nitrate sulphate and phosphate concentration were varies between BDL-327, 1.8-86.25, BDL-194 and BDL to 3.2 mgl-1 respectively. The pH of the alluvial groundwater is controlled by the HCO3. The fluoride concentration was varies from BDL to 2.38 mgl-1. Apart from few samples, 90.81% fluoride contaminated samples comes under the category of quality group A (< 1 mgl-1flouride). Similarly, out of total samples collected only in three samples the uranium concentration estimated to be more than 5ppb. Among the water quality parameters there exist a positive correlation between pH and fluoride with a correlation coefficient of 0.641. From the correlation analysis it is found that, higher concentration of fluorid correlated with higher pH. Similarly the correlation coefficient between calcium and chloride is very high i.e. 0.500, which strongly supported the existence of calcium in the study area is predominantly in the form of CaCl2. Most of the ground water samples meet the requirements of the WHO drinking water standards with respect to salinity, main constituents and potentially toxic trace elements such as uranium

Uranium concentrations (a total of 82 samples) in groundwater in Icheon, middle Korea, showed a wide range from 0.02 to 1640 μg/L with a mean of 56.77 μg/L, a median of 3.03 μg/L, and a standard deviation of 228.63 μg/L. Most groundwater samples had quite low concentrations: 32.9% were below 1 μg/L, while 15.9% exceeded 30 μg/L, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Radon concentrations also ranged widely from 1.48 to 865.8 Bq/L. Although the standard deviation of radon was large (151.8 Bq/L), the mean was 211.29 Bq/L and the median was 176.86 Bq/L. Overall, 64.6% of the samples exceeded the alternative maximum contaminant level (AMCL) of the US EPA (148 Bq/L). According to statistical analyses, there was no close correlations between uranium and radon, but there were correlations between uranium and redox potential (Eh) (−0.54), dissolved oxygen (DO) (−0.50), HCO3− (0.45), Sr (0.65), and SiO2 (−0.44). Radon showed independent behavior with respect to most components in groundwater. Uranium concentrations in groundwater increased with increasing water–rock interactions. Anomalously high uranium and radon concentrations in groundwater are preferentially localized in granite areas and spatial distributions are remarkably heterogeneous.
