Physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater in some villages of Jaitpur Tahsil, Shahdol district M.P., India

“…Human activities, hydrological aspects and characteristics of recharged water affect the quality of groundwater. As groundwater is used in high extent, some troubles are created such as water logging, land subsidence, lowering of water table, sea water intrusion in coastal aquifers and deterioration in water quality (Mehta, 2011) [8] . Water is one of the indispensable natural resources in our environment which is a basic need for human being and also an essential thing for the survival of all living organisms (Prashat, et al 2013) [11] .…”

Estimation of Ofloxacin in Bulk and Formulation by Second Order DerivativeUV-Spectrophotometric Methods

“…The assay procedure mentioned in these pharmacopoeias uses non aqueous titration for estimation of ofloxacin. Literature survey reveals spectrophotometric methods, atomic absorption spectrometry, spectro-flurometry [5,6,7,8], HPLC [9] and microbiological method [10] for its determination. To our knowledge no UVspectrophotometric method is reported an attempt has been made to develop new Zero Order and Area under Curve Spectrophotometric method for estimation of Ofloxacin in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations with good accuracy simplicity, precision and economy.…”
