Physicochemical Analysis of Borewell Water Samples of Telungupalayam Area in Coimbatore District, Tamilnadu, India

Abstract

The dyeing units at small scale levels in the textile city of Coimbatore are ever increasing. The effluents from dyeing units play a vital role in toxicating the groundwater quality. Hence the present study was undertaken to characterize the physicochemical nature (parameters) of groundwater in Telungupalayam village in Coimbatore city by taking water samples from five different stations. Evaluation of physicochemical parameters was carried out. To assess the quality of groundwater, each parameter was compared with the standard desirable limit of that parameter in drinking water as prescribed by different agencies. A systematic calculation was made to determine the correlation coefficient 'r' amongst the parameters and the significant values of the observed correlation coefficient between the parameters was worked out. Suitable suggestions were made to improve the quality of groundwater of Telungupalayam areas.

Variation of Some Physico-Chemical Parameters and Biodiversity of Gastropods Species in Euphrates River, Iraq

“…The pH was showed slightly alkaline trend. Generally pH of water would have been influenced by geological of catchments area and buffering capacity of water [17]. This agrees with that reported by [18], [19].…”

Analysis of the Physico-Chemical and Microbiological Quality of Imabolo Stream Water in Ankpa Urban Area of Kogi State, Nigeria

“…High concentration of Iron in water can lead to the formation of blue baby syndrome in babies and goitre in adults (Kola and Akinbile, 2004;Shyamala, et al, 2008). As shown in Row 14 of Table 3, the level of Iron (Fe 2+ ) in the water samples were 0.02mg/l (S1), 0.03mg/l (S7), 0.04mg/l (S2), 0.20mg/l (S3), 0.20mg/l (S4), 0.20mg/l (S6) and 0.3mg/l (S5).…”

Bacteriological and physico-chemical quality of drinking water sources in a rural community of Ethiopia

“…Fresh water has become a scarce commodity due to over exploitation and pollution. Increasing population and its necessities have led to the deterioration of surface and sub surface water 2 . The greatest risk to public health from microbes in water is associated with consumption of drinking-water that is contaminated with human and animal excreta 3 .…”
