Paper Details

In real world, the main issue is quality of water for its user mainly drinking, agriculture and for industries.The sources of groundwater pollution are numerous and diverse due to human activity and industrial growth. The largescale Industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, plastic, and chemical are manufacturing variousproducts in Chhota Udepur district. It’s an attempt to show the trend of some major pollutant parameters of differentlocation in Chhota Udepur district by analyzing water samples of pre monsoon and post monsoon data for the durationof last 12 years. Twenty four samples of ground water were included from each of the five talukas during the premonsoon (May) and post-monsoon (October)seasons for pollutants parameters in terms of pH, TDS, Ca, Mg and Cl bymonitoring open wells, tube wells and piezometers of agencies like Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB). Theconcentrations of parameters were compared with the standards of BIS IS 10500:2012. The drinking water of all fivetalukas contains higher magnitude of TDS than the desirable limits were noticed. It has been revealed that maximumTDS was detected in Nasvadi, Kalarani and Laved villages. The pH of almost entire district showed no objectionablevariation from the standard value (6.5-8.5), except in the year of 2015 samples of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon.Ground water of village Kalarani of Jetpur Pavi taluka was detected with above desirable value of Calcium, Magnesiumand Chloride.
