Abstract :

Analytical studies of some selected physicochemical parameter with metallic elements were made on the underground water bodies of Northern and Eastern Zone of Bilaspur urban areas, Chhattisgarh. Water samples were collected from ten different selected spot in the month of Nov’2010 to Jan’2011. Temperature, pH, E.C, Turbidity, TDS and D.O etc. were analyzed instantly in the sampling spot while T.S, TSS, TH, Alkalinity, D.O, BOD, COD, Cl−, F−,SO42−, NO3−, PO43−, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al by the standard method as per IS procedure. The statistical parameters like mean, SD, SE, Correlation coefficient and Water Quality Index were systematically calculated. It was observed that TS, TDS, TSS, Alkalinity, TH, DO, BOD, COD, Mg, Fe, and Al have higher value than maximum permissible limit of IS: 10500 and WHO standard of drinking water. The elevated values of these parameters are of great concern to public health when the water from these bore wells are consumed by people without treatment.
