A study was conducted to analyze the quality of power plant disposed water for irrigation and its impact on the soil of Ashuganj agro-irrigation project in Bangladesh. Water samples were collected during the irrigation period and chemically analyzed for the assessment of their quality based on pH, electrical conductivity (EC), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium bicarbonate (RSBC), Kelley‘s ratio (KR), total hardness (TH), magnesium absorption ratio (MAR) and permeability index (PI). Most of the water samples were basically excellent in case of EC and SAR, satisfactory in respect of RSBC and good based on SSP and PI for irrigation use. The relationships between the pairs of KR-SAR, KR-SSP, and SSP-SAR of the water samples were very strong with correlation coefficient around 1. Moreover, the values of pH, EC, Na, K, Ca, Mg and organic carbon of the soil samples were in the suitable range before and after crop cultivation. Therefore, it can be inferred that the power plant disposed water of the agro-irrigation project is suitable for irrigation as well as crop cultivation without any hazard of soil health.

This study was conducted to assess the effect of wastewater quality of Paharang drain Faisalabad on ground water quality of adjacent areas. Ground water samples and drain water samples were collected and analyzed by using standard methods. Parameters of wastewater samples were compared with Pakistan National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS). Results indicated that physico-chemical parameters including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, fluoride and total hardness were found exceeding the permissible limits in wastewater samples. Similarly, few physicochemical parameters in groundwater were found within the permissible limit while electrical conductivity (EC), TDS, chlorides (Cl), fluoride (F), and total hardness in most of samples were found above the Pak EPA and WHO standard limits. Heavy metals like nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and arsenic (As) were found within the prescribed concentrations in drain and ground water samples. Statistical analysis showed significant effect of some drain wastewater parameters like conductivity, TDS, salt, temperature, and Cl on the corresponding ground water quality. A strong positive correlation between pH, EC, TDS, Salt, and Cl in drain wastewater and strong positive correlation between EC, TDS and Salt in ground water samples was observed. For improving the ground water quality in the adjacent areas textile wastewater treatment all factories is required, and a combined effluent treatment plant (CETP) at the Paharang drain is also recommended.

Binwa is a perennial hill stream of the Western Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh. During the present investigation, four observation sites based on altitudinal differences were selected, i.e., Kharli(S1), Baijnath (S2), near Chobin (S3), and Triveni (S4) and water samples were analyzed for physico-chemical and biological parameters for one year (Mar.2011-Feb.2012). Water temperature, water current, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, T.D.S., electric conductivity, total Hardness, phosphate, and nitrate had played an essential role in determining the variations in planktonic and macroinvertebrate fauna of the stream.Species diversity indices such as Simpson, Shannon and Wiener, and Margalef’s diversity index of macroinvertebrates were worked out for all the observation sites. Based on the comparison of physico-chemical parameters of water samples with different standards prescribed for drinking water, water quality index for four stations calculated. Similarly, EPT taxa (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) measured, and EPT index computed. The water quality of the stream deteriorates downstream from head to mouth due to different types of anthropogenic interferences. The findings revealed that stream has no pollution at S1, while it is oligotrophic from S2 to S3 and meso-oligotrophic at S4.

Lower Indus Basin

This study was conducted to assess the water quality of the lower Indus Basin, Pakistan. Eighty- two water samples were collected from forty-one locations of lower Indus Basin (Kashmore to Keti-Bander) during pre and post monsoon seasons. The variation pattern in the water quality has been observed in both seasons. The samples were analysed for physical quality (temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, salinity and conductivity), chemical quality (chloride, total alkalinity, total hardness, sulphate, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, lead, mercury, copper, cadmium and nitrate) and biological quality (coliform bacteria). The study reveals that the concentrations of lead, mercury, and cadmium in water samples during both seasons were slightly higher than the permissible limits, whereas, all other parameters were within WHO guidelines. The higher concentration of heavy metals must be rectified by the concerned authorities in order to protect human health.
