Groundwater iron and manganese concentration assessment was carried out in the Chandrapur district of Central India to assess their spatio-temporal variation and furthermore health risk assessment owing to their ingestion by rural inhabitants which are mainly depend on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Groundwater sampling was carried out from 36 sampling locations by grab sampling method in winter, summer, and post-monsoon to ascertain health risk assessment of groundwater iron and manganese. These heavy metals were analyzed by ICP-OES. Results revealed maximum average groundwater iron concentration was at Ballarpur [Hand Pump (HP), 18.213 mg/L] and minimum at Gunjewahi [Dug Well (DW), 0.081 mg/L] whereas; maximum average manganese concentration from Naleshwar (HP, 0.779 mg/L) and minimum average from Antargaon (HP), Gowari (HP), Morwa (HP) and Mowada (HP, 0.003 mg/L). Iron distribution on World Health Organisation (WHO), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations revealed seasonal influence on it. Distribution of iron and manganese with Indian Standard Drinking Water-Specification (2012), summer have maximum samples (n=23, 63.88%) iron concentration above the permissible limit (0.3 mg/L), on the other hand, manganese in winter (n=7, 19.44%) (Permissible limit 0.3 mg/L). At a number of samples, groundwater manganese concentration was above the WHO (2011) discontinued manganese standard of 0.4 mg/L.

“…These observations were in accordance with the results obtained from the study. Eight samples had iron concentration more than the desirable limit and 19 within the limit of WHO (Khan et al, 2013) which on comparison with the results obtained from the study showed that 20, 23 and 13 samples for winter, summer and post-monsoon respectively had concentrations above the permissible limit of IS 10500:2012.…”

Groundwater iron concentrations were monitored from rural area of the Chandrapur district, Central India during winter, summer and post-monsoon at 36 sampling locations so as to map and quantify its levels. Grab sampling was carried out for groundwater sampling from dug wells (DW) (n=2, 5.55%) and hand pumps (HP) (n=34, 94.44%). Iron concentration was determined by acid digestion method and further analysis by using ICP-OES. Maximum iron concentration in winter was 47.100 mg/L (Ballarpur, HP), 3.825 mg/L (Ballarpur, HP) in summer and 3.714 mg/L (Visapur, HP) in post-monsoon. Average iron concentration in winter, summer, and post-monsoon was 3.522 mg/L, 0.730 mg/L and 0.582 mg/L respectively, which were above the acceptable limit of the Indian Standard (IS) and WHO aesthetic limit for iron (0.3 mg/L). Seasonal variation in groundwater iron concentration was observed in the order of winter>post-monsoon>summer. Distribution of iron with IS revealed a number of samples above the permissible limit and in the order of summer>winter>post-monsoon. In case of a distribution on WHO, JECFA and IOM recommendations, number of samples in high to very high category was in the order of winter>summer>post-monsoon. It can be concluded that seasonal elevated and variable groundwater iron concentration was observed from the study area. A number of samples had the concentration several times above the IS acceptable limit and WHO aesthetic cut-off. The plausible reasons for these observations can be assigned to geology, water source type (HP/DW), space and time, the proximity of water source to minerals and ores present in the earth crust, physicochemical characteristics of water and dissolution and leaching of metal in groundwater

“…In regards to pollution from coal mining activities, Swer and Singh (2004) and Singh et al (2012) have reported that mine drainages alter the quality of the water bodies to the extent that could be detrimental to the survival of aquatic life in the stream and rivers, even further downstream. Researchers working on water bodies affected by coal mining activities points out that the characteristic low pH (Swer and Singh 2003;Baruah et al 2005;Equeenuddin et al 2010), high turbidity (Tambekar et al 2012) and excess concentration of sulfate (Rawat and Singh 1982;Swer and Singh 2004;Khan et al 2013;Kumar and Singh 2016;Tiwari et al 2016) in the water are directly linked to coal mine waste. The present study also shows such trends of results and rectify that the runoffs and the drainages from coal mines entering the Tsurang river have its impact on the WQI.…”

Tsurang, a major river in the Mokokchung district of Nagaland, northeast India, shares great aspects of traditional importance for the Ao Naga tribes and is a part of natural commodity providing water to the agrarian community for irrigation and livestock rearing. However, various environment detrimental activities are practiced along the course of the riverbank, particularly coal mining and agriculture. The present study was conducted to examine the seasonal water quality index (WQI) of the Tsurang river from three selected sampling stations. Overall, the water quality status was rated as “Good” in winter and spring while “Poor” in summer and autumn. In all the seasons, downstream (S3) located at the human settlement area presented higher WQI values compared to upstream (S1) and midstream (S2). The parameters such as turbidity, DO and BOD played a central role in affecting the WQI; although, no such significant roles in case of nutrient elements were observed in affecting the water quality. The WQI revealed that Tsurang river water is deteriorated due to coal mining and other anthropogenic activities practiced along the stretch of the river and the water needs to be pretreated before consumption. Therefore, proper management strategies and conservation efforts should be enforced and regulated by policymakers to protect the river from further contamination.
