Sugar industries have an essential place in Indian economic development. However, the waste water generated from these industries poses a significant threat to the environment as well as irrigated land. If untreated effluents are used in irrigation, they might contaminate food crops and, if they are released into water bodies, they might also be dangerous to the survival of the aquatic ecosystem. The Physico-chemical characteristics of the content in the effluents from Sri Cham Sugars Private Limited, Bharathi nagara Sugar mill have been explored. Physico-chemical characteristics included color, odor, temperature, pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TS, DO, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, oil and grease, Electrical conductivity of the effluent collected from the different sites at discharge point in different months have been determined.

Rwanda possesses multiple lakes, whose properties were rarely described. The present study assessed physico-chemical characteristics of water in Burera and Ruhondo lakes located in highly populated area with steep slopes, which are under extensive agriculture, thus water quality monitoring is important. Both lakes were alkaline with high content of Mg, while Ruhondo had higher electrical conductivity than Burera. Phosphorus and nitrogen exceeded Class III EPA standards indicating that both lakes are at risk of eutrophication. Keywords: water quality, lakes Burera and Ruhondo, Rwanda

The aim of this work was to study the physicochemical characterization and heavy metal testing results carried out for leachate generated by the landfilling of household and similar waste in the Tamellast landfill of Agadir. The surface and groundwater resource (often used as drinking source) samples collected from Tamellast and different water sources wells surrounding the landfill were used to find out the impact of leachate percolation on surface and groundwater quality. The Physico-chemical parameters analyzed were, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Dissolved oxygen, Sodium, Potassium, while biological parameters tested were Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), E.Coli and Coliform tot. The contamination was investigated by measuring the concentration of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cr, Ni, As, and Fe). The Electrical Conductivity (EC), COD, BOD, Sodium, Potassium, in leachate were found to be 13180 µs/cm, 3150 mgO2/l, 1000 mgO2/l, 2000 mg/L, and 10700 mg/L, respectively. The concentration in the surrounding dug wells varied from 8.33 – 9.13 mg/L for Dissolved Oxygen, 9.8 – 18 mg/L for potassium, 0.22 – 0.6 mg/L for Fe, and 0.012 – 0.1 mg/L for total Mn. The concentration of Mn, Fe, and other parameters decreased with increasing distance between the landfill and wells.

In this study, the effect of ‘natural/self cleaning’ of ground water by precipitation after a decade of tsunami is evaluated along the coast of Kanniyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, India. The samples were collected from five stations namely Colachel, Muttom, Periyakadu, Manakudy, and Kanniyakumari. The physicochemical parameters such as turbidity, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and fluoride were evaluated and compared with the database of the pre-tsunami sample collected in 2004. The results indicated that the ‘natural cleaning’ has improved the quality of the ground water over the years after tsunami.

This study is restricted in terms of water quality for drinking purpose. Various Physico-chemical Parameters like pH, conductivity. TDS are measured in laboratory by using digital pH meter, digital conductivity meter and TDS recording kit. By sung standard laboratory methods the Parameters Such as sodium, and potassium by Flame photometry. Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Sulphate, Nitrate, and Iron were estimated in the Laboratory. Total dissolved solids, TDS, was measured by evaporation method. Biochemical oxygen demand, BOD, represents the amount of oxygen consumed by bacteria and other microorganisms while they decompose organic matter under aerobic (in presence of oxygen) conditions at a specified temperature. BOD was measured by sodium thiosulphate titration method. Chemical oxygen demand, COD, was measured by titration of potassium dichromate and sodium thiosulphate.

<p>Present study perceives that textile dye effluents of Erode, Pallipalayam and Bhavani region have substantial volume of EC, pH, TDS, COD, BOD, Sodium Chloride, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and heavy metals. Results point out that irrespective of the source, effluent properties exceeded permissible limits by WHO/ FAO/Federal Environmental Protection Agency for irrigation. The textile industry consumes a mixture of chemicals and huge amount of water during the production process. About 200 L of water are used to produce 1 kg of textile. The textile effluent can cause several health infections like haemorrhage, ulceration of skin, nausea, skin irritation and dermatitis. <br /><br /></p>

Element Removal

The accumulation of salts in the soil produces conditions that affect the growth of most crops. Currently, soil amendments have been used to improve the texture and chemical & biological reactions of the soil. The objective of this work was to simulate the transport of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in columns of saline soil through the use of organic and chemical amendments. Saline soil samples of the municipality of Tlahuelilpan, Hidalgo state, Mexico were studied. Compost, vermicompost, phosphogypsum and malting barley husk were used as amendments. The results showed that the highest metal element removal was obtained with the combined treatment of vermicompost at 4 % and phosphogypsum at 2 % (V4FY2) (59 %). Improvements in soil physico-chemical properties were also observed. These findings indicated that the combination of organic and chemical amendments promotes the leaching of metals, (mainly sodium). Therefore, the amendments evaluated in this study can be a good alternative for the remediation and improvement of saline soils.

The present study was conducted in the selected groundwater bodies of the coastal gramapanchayath near Kadinamkulam estuary during the pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons. Kadinamkulam estuary is one of the major coir-retting areas in Kerala. The major objective of the study is to assess the physico- chemical characteristics and hydrogen sulfide pollution of groundwater in the residential areas of Azhoor Gramapanchayath in Thiruvananthapuram district. Surface water samples from selected stations were also collected from the Kadinamkulam estuary. The physico-chemical characteristics of water were analyzed following the standard procedures in APHA (2012). The results show that the recorded values for color, pH, phosphate, calcium, magnesium and hydrogen sulfide were above the permissible limits of drinking water quality standards (Bureau of Indian Standards, 1991; WHO, 1993, 1996). This may be due leaching of effluents from the coir retting activity in the Kadinamkulam estuary and due to the disposal of solid wastes. The study also revealed that the hydrogen sulfide content was high in lake water samples which affect the primary productivity of the water body. The correlation and principal component analysis shows that color is an important parameter and from cluster, analysis it was found that phosphate and hydrogen sulfide content significantly affect the groundwater quality. The study concludes that the groundwater sources in the study area are getting contaminated due to the leaching of pollutants from Kadinamkulam estuary and anthropogenic activities in the nearby residential areas.
