Water quality status of Pench Reservoir (India).

Considering the impacts of industrial effluents on the quality of water of many dams and rivers as reported in the literature, a study of water quality of Pench Reservoir (India) has been carried out. In the present work, physico-chemical parameters and bacteriological status are evaluated to determine its suitability for drinking and irrigation. From various parameters like pH, DO, BOD, COD, EC and minerals etc, it is concluded that the water is suitable for drinking.

Impacts of mining on water and soil.

Out of seven coal mines situated in Wardha River Valley located at Wani (Dist. Yavatmal), five open caste coal mines are run by Western Coal Field Ltd, India. The results of 25 water and 19 soil samples (including one over burden) from Nilapur, Bramhani, Kolera, Gowari, Pimpari and Aheri for their pH, TDS, hardness, alkalinity, fluoride, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, cadmium, lead, zinc, copper, nickel, arsenic, manganese, sodium and potassium are studied in the present work.
