Chemical Analysis of Ground water in Hinganghat, District Wardha (Ms), India

Ground water is one of the most useful water sources found in earth. The importance of the chemical analysis underlies the fact that the chemistry of ground water can directly be rated with the source of water, climate and geology of the region. Contamination of such water is responsible for creating health hazards. In this paper chemical analysis of the ground water has been carried out for Hinganghat in Wardha district. The water sample collected from different location in Hinganghat, Wardha (India). The ground water samples were analyzed for the following chemical parameters; pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Hardness (TH), Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphate, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS). The results Obtained shown that it is free from anomalies and suitable for human and cattle consumption as well as irrigation purpose in Hinganghat, Wardha districts, Maharashtra, India.

Evaluation of Physical and Chemical Properties of Maikunkele Stream for Irrigation Purpose Using Water Quality Index

The study is aimed at using water quality index (WQI) as a standard for determining the suitability of the surface water for irrigation purpose within the Maikunkele Fadama area in Niger State, Nigeria by monitoring five sampling points for five months. The samples were analyzed for includes nitrate (NO3), phosphate (PO4), sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe), besides other general parameters (pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), alkalinity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity). The WQI for the parameters under investigation were determined and values compared international standards. The mean temperature value ranged between 29.5 and 30.4 oC, while pH values of 7.18 maximum and 5.95 minimum were observed for the study location. The electrical conductivity ranged between 174 and 274 µScm-1. The mean concentration of calcium ion ranged between 3.68 and 4.44 mgL-1. The concentration of Fe was 0.13 mgL-1 and 1.48 mgL-1. The minimum and maximum values of Zn are 0.01 mgL-1 and 0.17 mgL-1 respectively. The Maikunkele Fadama stream had WQI value ranging from 43.469 to 47.120 which fall under good water category, these also conforms to the results obtained from the analysis carried out. It is therefore concluded that the stream water feeding the Maikunkele Fadama farm is fit to be used as irrigation water for the study area as Fadama stream had WQI value ranging from 43.469 to 47.120 thus falling under good water category as far as water quality for irrigation purpose is concerned. Hence, the stream water feeding the Maikunkele fadama farm is fit to be used as irrigation water.Keywords- Agrochemicals, contamination, fadama farming, Irrigation water, water quality index

Physicochemical assesment of Khelna reservoir water from Aurangabad District of Maharashtra

Present study deals with the physicochemical assesment of Khelna reservoir water. Life in water depends upon the physicochemical conditions prevailing in that water. A total of 20 parameters were analyzed at seasonal intervals. Results of present study reveals that all selected physicochemical parameters were found in normal range as per the guidelines of WHO. The water is potable and safe for drinking and irrigation purpose. In order to maintain better quality of water, regular monitoring of quality of water and protection and conservation of water bodies is required. A proper awareness among society has to be created about protection and conservation of water resources.

Research of technical and technological operations of irrigation and development of initial requirements to the technical means of their realization

Authors as a result of researches got informative, statistical and experimental data which allowed to ground and form initial requirements on the machine technological operations of irrigation. Purpose of researches – to conduct the analysis of practice of application of multi-supporting sprinkling-machines which are used in technologies of the irrigated agriculture, define the high-quality indexes of implementation of technological process and construction features for forming of requirements on the technical and technological operations of irrigation. Methods of researches: empiric, measuring, theoretical, mathematical and statistical, analysis of existent normative base. Results of researches. In the process of researches prospects, problems and terms of application of multi-supporting sprinkling-machines, are analyzed, the modern state and tendencies of improvement of these machines are considered. The brought classification over and structural signs of sprinkling-machines, basic charts and methods of irrigation, the review of constructions of sprinkling machines and technological features of their application, certain high-quality and operating-technological indexes of work of machines, are given. An operating in Ukraine normative base is analyzed in relation to requirements to the broad-cut sprinkling-machines at their application in the technique and technology operations of irrigation. It is educed as a result of analysis, that an investigational normative base touches mainly requirements to the construction of sprinkling machines and their separate component parts, methods of tests and requirements of safety. General initial requirements on technical and technological operations of irrigation, which touch quality of implementation of technological process, operating-technological and ecological requirements, requirements to reliability of and other absent. On the basis of the conducted researches and tests, experimental and informative data, which were taken as base, certain and initial requirements are reasonable on the technique and technology operations of irrigation at the use of broad-cut multisupporting sprinkling-machines, were got. Conclusions: the necessity of application of sprinkling-machines is set taking into account ecological requirements and the basic rules of their use are certain with the purpose of warning of erosive processes of soils .initial requirements are Certain and reasonable on the technical and technological operations of irrigation at the use of broad-cut multi-supporting sprinkling machines.
