Ground Water Quality (TOR # 19)
Ground water samples have been collected and analyzed for various parameters like pH,
Suspended Solids, Total Dissolved Solids, Temperature, Total Hardness, Calcium
Hardness, Magnesium hardness, Alkalinity, Fluoride, Chloride, Sulphates, Nitrates,
Phenolic compounds, Heavy metals etc. and is compared with the standards to know the
water quality. Selection of sampling locations will be generally done based on the
following factors:
i) Proximity of the industries to the site.
ii) Residential areas.
iii) Representation of Project site.
Eight numbers of ground water samples from bore wells were collected from the near by
villages to assess ground water quality impacts. The ground water sampling locations and
their distances from the proposed Project site are shown in Table 3.3.3. These water
samples are analysed for various parameters as per IS: 10500. The ground water
characteristics were shown in table Nos. 3.3.4. to 3.3.11. The ground water monitoring
stations are shown in Fig. 3.4. There is no organic contamination of the ground water.
No heavy metals are present in ground water. The hardness in the water is slightly higher
which is due to the geological formation beneath the ground surface but this is less than
the maximum acceptable levels.
