Physico Chemical Assessment and Comparison of Quality of Underground Water for Drinking Purpose at Periodic Interval in the Village of Srikurmam, Gara Mandal in Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh, India

Abstract

Safe drinking water is essential to the protection of public health and well-being of citizens. Clean safe and adequate fresh water is vital to the survival of all living organisms. Drinking water affects the health of human beings due to the presence of various chemical constituents. Therefore, every person should have required the minimum knowledge of quality of drinking water. Ground water is the one of the major sources of water for drinking, agricultural and industrial needs. The subject of the quality of water in village of Srikurmam in Gara mandal of Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh is taken up for the study. An attempt is made to investigate the physico-chemical parameters of ground water on seasonal base and its comparison. The results in this presentation are reported and comparison on the seasonal base like

Mineral resource assessment of heavy mineral, beach-placer sandstone deposits at Apache Mesa, Jicarilla Apache reservation, Rio Arriba county, New Mexico

“…During the Late Cretaceous, the present San Juan Basin was on the western edge of the Western -Roberts and Kirschbaum, 1995;Fassett, 2000) and are similar to deposits on the Atlantic Coast in the United States (Koch, 1986;Carpenter and Carpenter, 1991), southeastern Australia (Roy, 1999), and Andhra Pradesh, India (Rao et al, 2008).…”

“…Riptides and undertow currents erode beach deposits and subsequently remove the lighter minerals, leaving the heavier minerals behind. The Srikurmam ilmenite placer deposit in Andhra Pradesh area in India is confined between two major rivers (Rao et al, 2008) and local drainages could have controlled the formation of beachplacer deposits in New Mexico. Destruction and reworking of older beach-placer deposits can occur until they are covered by continental deposits.…”

Modern examples are found along the Atlantic Coast in the United States (Koch, 1986;Carpenter and Carpenter, 1991;Pirkel et al, 2009), Oregon (Peterson et al, 1986), southeastern Australia (Roy, 1999;Reid et al, 2013), west coast of South Africa (Philander and Rozendall, 2015), Tartous, Syria (Kattaa, 2002), and Andhra Pradesh, India (Rao et al, 2008), where they are mined for titanium, zircon, and locally, monazite (a Ce-bearing rare earth elements mineral). Other potential commodities include niobium, chromium, thorium, and rare earth elements (REE).…”

Causes and Impacts of Water Pollution on Various water bodies in the State of Rajasthan, India: A Review

“…The physical parameters of water quality are-turbidity, temperature, color, total solid, taste, odor, electric conductivity (EC) and chemical parameters of water quality includes pH, acidity, alkalinity, residual chlorine, sulphate, fluoride, nitrates, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), radioactive substance (Omer 2020). Therefore, water quality assessment involves analysis of various physico-chemical, biological and microbiological parameters that shows the biotic and abiotic status of ecosystem (Rao et al 2012).…”
