The Impact of Industrial effluent on the quality of Surface water Groundwater and Soil from Chincholi Industrial area Dist Solapur M S

Abstract

The present study has been focused on the impact of industrial effluent on Surface newlinewater, Groundwater and Soil quality in and around Chincholi Industrial area of Solapur newlineDistrict, Maharashtra. The study area comes under Sina River basin and comprises three newlinevillages viz., Chincholi, Kondi, and Pakni. Chincholi site is known for various industries newlinelike textile, paint, Pharmaceutical etc., and Kondi village is characterized as barren land newlinewith miniature agriculture while Pakni is known for agricultural activities. In case of the newlinestudy area, the hydro-geochemical aspect in relation to industrial activities was not newlinerecognized manifestly. However, few studies carried out by nodal agencies like GSDA newlineand CGWB as a part of the regional study and individuals to a limited extent. The newlinehydrochemical investigation is important to know the horizontal and vertical spread of newlinecontaminants and its different sources. Therefore, representative samples of groundwater newline(49), Surface water (6), Soil (10), Effluent (4) samples were collected in pre and postmonsoon newlineseasons of the year 2014 and 2015. The present study mainly emphasizes on newlineassessment of major ion chemistry, the trace element in soil and water, identification of newlinecontamination sources and suitability for drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes. newlineIntegrated Water Quality Index (IWQI) has been developed and applied to the newlinegroundwater samples which are based on the desirable limit and permissible limit of Ca, newlineMg, Na, K, Cl, SO4, NO3 and TDS defined by the BIS (2012). The IWQI result depicts newlinethat 4.08% groundwater samples during pre monsoon season of the year 2014 and in prepost newlinemonsoon season of the year 2015. However, 8.16% groundwater samples in post newlinemonsoon season of the year 2014 belong to poor category. These samples are mainly newlineaffected due to the excessive concentration of Na, Cl and SO4 from industrial and newlinedomestic activities. It may be owed to the non-existence of concrete sewerage line, poor newlinesanitary seals and incompetent casing and pits filled with effluents. Groun
