ASSESMENT
OF GROUND WATER QUALITY AROUND INDUSTRIAL AREA IN CUDDALORE DISTRICT
PROJECT
GUIDE : Dr. GNANAPRAGASAM
Abstract
Water
is an indispensable natural resource on this earth on which all life depends.
About 97 percentage of the earth’s surface is covered by water and most of
animals and plants have 60 to 65 percentage water in their body. Due to its
unique properties water is of multiple uses for all living organisms. Human’s
being depends on water for almost every development activity. Uptake of nutrients, their distribution in the
body, regulation of temperature and removal wastes are all mediated through
water. The water which is taken up but not returned for reuse. Globally, only about 60 percentage of the
water with drawn is consumed due to loss through evaporation with increasing
human population and rapid development. The world water with drawn demands have
increasing many folds and a large proportion of the water with drawn is
polluted due to anthropogenic activities.
So
we are in the need to analyze the drinking water quality. This thesis work
deals with the drinking water quality around industrial area in Cuddalore.
There are various water quality parameters such as Odor, Turbidity, Electrical
Conductivity, pH, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium,
Chloride, Fluoride, Total Alkalinity, Iron are used to access the drinking
water quality.
Literature Survey:
•
Nasrullah, et al., (2004) studied on the
“analysis of pollution load in industrial effluent and ground water of Gadoon
Amazai Industrial Estate, Swabi, NWFP”.
Samples were collected from eight different industrial units including
chemical, marble, soap and oil, textile, ghee and steel industries and main
drain and were analyzed for various physical and chemical parameters like pH,
EC, TSS, TDS and heavy metals content.The results of the ground water samples
showed pH values ranging from 6.82-7.9°C with EC 0.351-0.511dSm-1,
temperature was found from 26.0-26.7oC, TSS was 1.78-2.09mgL-1,
TDS ranged from 139-513 mgL-1 and BOD of ground water was in range
from 0.294-0.802mgL-1. mental Quality Standards.
•
M. Balakrishnan et al (2008) had
reported on the “Impact of dyeing industrial effluents on the groundwater
quality in Kancheepuram (India)”Twenty groundwater samples were collected from
various parts of the dyeing industrial region and the samples were analysed
with standard analytic methods.The concentrations of total dissolved solids
(1138 to 2574 mg/L), chloride (216 to 847 mg/L), total hardness (225 to 760
mg/L), sulphate (64 to 536 mg/L), nitrate (up to 58 mg/L), iron (up to 2.3
mg/L) and lead (up to 0.281 mg/L) were found to be higher and exceeded the
permissible limits of BIS and WHO standards.
•
C. R. RAMAKRISHNAIAH et al(2009) studied
on the “Assessment of Water Quality Index for the Groundwater in Tumkur
Taluk,Karnataka State, India”The present work is aimed at assessing the water
quality index (WQI) for the groundwater of Tumkur taluk..For calculating the
WQI, the following 12 parameters have been considered: pH, total hardness,
calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, total dissolved
solids, iron, manganese and fluorides.This has been determined by collecting
groundwater samples and subjecting the samples to a comprehensive
physicochemical analysis.The WQI for these samples ranges from 89.21 to 660.56
•
K. Saravanakumar et al (2011) done the
study on” Analysis of water quality parameters of groundwater near Ambattur
industrial area, Tamil Nadu, India”This paper presents groundwater quality of
Ambattur industrial area in Chennai City. Ten different locations were selected
for the study and compared.The parameters studied were pH, total alkalinity,
total hardness, turbidity,chloride, sulphate, fluoride, total dissolved solids
and conductivity.From overall analysis, it was observed that there was a slight
fluctuation in the physico-chemical parameters among the water samples studied.
From overall analysis, it was observed that there was a slight fluctuation in
the physico-chemical parameters among the water samples studied.Comparison of
the physico-chemical parameters of the water sample with WHO and ICMR limits
showed that the groundwater is highly contaminated and account for health
hazards for human use.
•
N.V. Srikanth Vuppala (2012) had done
the “STUDY OF GROUND WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS IN INDUSTRIAL ZONE OF
VISAKHAPATNAM”There is a wide
variation in the quality of water from point, which is reflected by the related
parameters.Hydrogeochemical studies were carried out in industrial area to
assess the ground water quality ground water samples from 10 bore wells.
Industries consume large quantities to
water for their process and then discharge their effluents on to the adjoining
areas without pre-treatment. This lead to the deterioration of ground water
quality significantly besides impoverishing the environment.
Introduction:
Water resources are sources of water that are useful
potentially useful to humans. Uses of water include agricultural, industrial,
household, recreational, and environmental activities virtually all of these
human uses require fresh water.
97 percentage of water
on the earth is salt water leaving only 3 percentage as fresh water of which
slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The
remaining unfrozen fresh water is mainly found as ground water, with only a
small fraction present above ground water or in the air.
Fresh water is a
renewable resource, yet the world’s supply of clean, fresh water is steadily
decreasing water demand already exceeds
supply in many parts of the world and as the world population continues to
rise, so too does the water demand. Awareness of the global importance of preserving
water for eco-system services has only
recently emerged as, during the 20th century, more than half the
world’s wetlands have been lost along with their valuable environmental
services biodiversity fresh water eco-system are currently declining faster
than marine or land eco-system the frame work for allocating water resources to
water users is know as water rights.
Sources of water:
Water is used for domestic,
industrial and agricultural purposes are obtained from various sources. The
major sources of water are as follows.
·
Surface water-ponds, river, stream and lake
·
Sub-surface water- infiltration wells
·
Ground water- springs and wells
Impurities in water:
It is not possible to
find pure water n nature the rain water as it drops down to the surface of
earth dust and gases from the atmosphere. It is further exposed to the organic
matter on the surface is earth by the time, it reaches the sources of water
supply, and it is found to contain various other impurities also.
The impurities present in water can be generally
classified as follows:
·
Physical impurities
·
Chemical impurities
·
Bacteriological impurities
Study area:
Cuddalore
is situated at northern region of Tamilnadu state lying between latitude 11°
43' North and longitude 79° 49’east ( Fig.1). Bore well water is generally
using for drinking and irrigation purposes in this district. The salinity
intrusion and industrial pollution of ground water are the two key reasons for
deterioration of water quality. The ground water samples were collected in
polythene bottles from bore wells and Municipal supply water of seven panchayat
villages of Cuddalore district during December 2010 - February 2011. The
sampling locations are given in

·
Assessment of drinking water quality in
bore well water
·
Comparison water quality parameters with
recommendation standards
·
Assess whether the water is portable or
not
·
Assessment of significant and health
effects
Sampling procedure:
- Water for
chemical examination should be collected in a clean, white 2 liter
polythene container.
- The source
from which water is collected should be in regular use. Otherwise the
source should be adequately flushed before sampling. For hand pump
sources, the water should be pumped and wasted for at least three to five
minutes to clear all dirt, slime and turbidity. Water from wells should be
taken in the middle at mid depth.
- Before
collection of sample the container should be washed with the water to be
sampled for at least 2 to 3 times.
- The water
should be then filled completely in the container without leaving any air
space.
- Place the
inner cap. Place a polythene sheet (10*10 cm) in between the inner and
outer caps. Screw the outer cap. Place another polythene sheet of same
size over the outer cap and tie the neck with a rubber band or twine
thread.
- Label the
container with all required source particulars.
- The sample
should be delivered to the lab within 24 hours form die time of
collection.

DETERMINATION OF
HARDNESS
AIM:
To
determine the total hardness of the given sample by EDTA titrimetric method.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
·
Burette
·
Erlenmeyer flask
·
Pipette
·
Bottle
REAGENTS:
·
Standard EDTA solution
·
Erio-chrome black – T indicator
·
Ammonia buffer solution.
PROCEDURE:
1. Dilute
25ml of sample to about 5oml using distilled water in conical flasks.
2. Add
1ml of buffer solution.
3. Add
2 drops of indicator the solution will have turns into wine red color.
4. Add
standard EDTA slowly with continuous stirring until the last reddish color
disappears from the solution. The color of the solution at the end point is
blue under normal condition.
5. Note
down the volume of EDTA method.
CALCULATION:
Hardness of caco3 = 
V2
= Volume of sample
V1
= Difference in burette reading
Hardness
of caco3 = 
= 408 mg/l
