Malwa region of Punjab state, India has become the center of water borne diseases due to excessive use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, heavy metals, industrial toxins that cause toxicity in water. The main contamination in ground water is by physico-chemical parameters and heavy metals i.e. pH, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, chlorides, fluorides, arsenic and lead. The contamination of ground water with heavy metals causes health hazards to humans and animals. Due to lack of adequate facilities and resources for the management and handling of waste, the ground water contamination has been increased. In the present study, assessment of ground water quality was carried out in the villages of Ferozepur district of Punjab state, India. With main emphasis on analyzing the groundwater parameters of Ferozepur district which are responsible for health hazard to humans and animals. Various groundwater samples were collected randomly from the villages of Ferozepur district and analyzed for pH, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, chlorides, fluorides, heavy metals (arsenic and lead) using standard procedures. The concentrations of calcium, chlorides, fluorides and pH were within the permissible limits, whereas, alkalinity and total hardness were observed beyond permissible limits in most of the water samples. Even among majority of the samples taken, the concentration of arsenic and lead was found within the permissible limits. Results showed that the ground water samples collected from depth ranging from 100 to 360 ft, recorded values within permissible limits for drinking purpose as prescribed by WHO. Further, ANOVA has been applied on analysis results to study the effect of pH on fluoride and chloride, depth on fluoride and chloride and depth on arsenic and lead. Also, to adjudge the overall quality of water in Ferozepur district, the water quality index (WQI) has been calculated on the basis of large number of physico-chemical characteristics of water. The water quality index of ground water in Ferozepur district has been calculated to be 107. The value is close to 100 so the quality of ground water in Ferozepur district can be categorized under 'Good Quality' water.

The common practice of Municipal solid waste disposal method in developing countries is an unlined landfill dumping site. Due to this the natural resources land, water and air get polluted and also severely affected by the public living around the dumping yard. In this study, Srinivasapuram dumpsite in Thanjavur City Municipal Corporation area, India has been selected to investigate the quality of groundwater. Groundwater samples collected from 25 locations were tested as per standards for physical, chemical characteristics. The classical contour mapping method has been used to detect information from the recorded ground water quality data. Surfer 6.0 software has been used to convert the spatial data into equivalent contour map. Graphical method has been used to decide the area enclosed by each contour line. The water quality standards recommended by BIS and WHO were used to classify the critical regions based on the ground water contamination level. The water quality parameters such as pH value, Electrical conductivity, Total dissolved solids (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Iron and Fluoride were considered for this analysis and other parameters were not included. All the collected groundwater samples the pH values are within the permissible limit of 6.5-8.5. The Electrical Conductivity vales range between 0.5mho/cm and 5.7mho/cm. The TDS values ranges between 200 and 3024 mg/l. The concentration of TDS is higher than the permissible level of the samples which are nearby the dumping yard as the contour lines are assembling around the dumpsite. The concentration of chlorides in all the samples under investigation is 12.4 to 1316 mg/l. It has been observed that concentration of total hardness (TH) of water samples varies from 118 mg/l to 2070mg/l. The presence of high concentration of iron and fluoride in the water samples adjacent to dumping yard indicate that it would have contaminated by leachate movement from MSW. The contour plots also reveal that the groundwater was contaminated as per the tests conducted for physical and chemical parameters.

A study of the water sources from Bibiani and its environs was conducted between November, 2009 and April, 2010 to determine whether contamination (of water sources) from (these parameters) physical, chemical and trace metal in Bibiani is as a result of mining or geochemicaland biochemical processes within the environment. This was done by collecting water samples from two streams, two rivers, three boreholes (BHs) and three hand dug wells (HDWs). These were analysed in the laboratory. Levels of Arsenic (As), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), pH, TotalDissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Temperature, Alkalinity, Hardness, Phosphate (P) and Cyanide (CN) in water sources were determined. Mining related contaminants detected in water samples were As, CN, Mn and Fe. It was observed that surface water pH values were generally higher than that of groundwater samples. As concentrations in surface water samples were higher compared to that of groundwater samples. Also, CN concentration in ground water samples was higher than that of surface water. Ground water contained higher concentration of Mn than surface water; the opposite can be said of Fe concentration in surfacewater which was higher than that of ground water. The study also observed that pH, TDS, EC, total alkalinity, total hardness , Arsenic and total cyanide levels in the HDW and BH samples showed 100% compliance with the WHO and EPA limits while Mn and Fe levels indicated traces of non – compliance. Compared to WHO / EPA guidelines, few water sources had one or moretrace metal (Fe, As and Mn) levels outside acceptable limits for drinking. However, most of the levels were safe for human consumption.Keywords: Surface, gold mining, quality, degradation, Bibiani
