Water quality assessment near an industrial site of Damodar River, India

Abstract: An assessment on the water quality parameters coliform including the bacterial abundance from a point source of river Damodar (24 degrees 26(') N and 86 degrees 53(') E), West Bengal, India was carried out during the period of 2004-2007. The site received mining and industrial effluents from the collieries and industries. The water samples collected on a monthly basis revealed the presence of the coliform bacteria Escherichia coli and Streptococcus sp., between 2,600 and 20,000 colony-forming unit/100 ml throu… Show more

“…PC 3 showing *14 % of the total variance in both the season loads high positive scores of Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn in the wet season while As, Cd, Fe, Pb and Zn in the dry season. As agriculture is the mainstay of a large majority of the population of the study area, the extensive cultivation and wide use of chemical fertilizer may have added these metal ions into the surface water sources through surface runoff (Chatterjee et al 2009;Toor et al 2010) in both the seasons. Having positive loadings of micronutrient Zn in both the seasons, the surface water sources indicate the Zn enrichment of the basin and thus attribute their suitability for irrigation purposes.…”

“…There are some of the important parameters which adversely affect the river water quality. Previous review of literature reveals that the point-source Kalajharia of the river Damodar is highly polluted [20] and some parameters indicating its pollution level is presented in Table 1.…”

“…For microbiological analyses, 500 mL of water samples were taken from selected site employing aseptic techniques and stored in sterile Whirlpak type sealed plastic bags following standard collection and storage procedures. Aseptic techniques were observed during all microbiological analyses [20,21].…”

“…Self-sufficient and self-sustaining, the DVC is managing to achieve the development of irrigation, power generation, flood control and water supply facilities while taking up environmental protection measures in an integrated manner. Chatterjee et al (2010) assessed the water quality near an industrial site of the Damodar River during the period of 2004-2007. River control structures on the Damodar River have thus been extensively studied over the years from a variety of perspectives. He observes declining storage in different zones of the reservoirs and addresses reliability of the conservational storage, rise of the reservoir bed-level, and reduction of storage trap efficiency in different projected years.…”
