Bhopal, the capital city of M.P. is situated amidst the emerald lakes. This paper presents results ofphysico chemicaland bacteriological examination ofground waterlayers in Bhanpur Bhopal. The study has clearly indicated that the concentration of most of the parameters is below the maximum permissible limits for TDS, alkalinity, Magnesium, chloride,sulphate, and fluoride. The bacteriological contamination at places near Bhanpur which is the dumping site of municipal solid waste was reported and at someplacesit even exceeded the permissible limits and not suitable for drinking purpose. The sample collection, preservationandpre treatmentwasaccording tostandardmethod of collecting samples at international level i.e. BIS procedure. Prior tothisa thorough survey conducted to know about probable pollution source and other relevant features.

Introduction

Water is essential for life on earth. Water isa unique liquid, without it life is impossible. Theimportance of ground water for the existence of humansociety cannot be overemphasized. Ground water isthe major source of drinking water in both urban andrural areas. Besides, it is an important source for theagricultural and the industrial sector. As far as thequality of ground water is concerned, many placesincluding Bhopal have been identified as endemic tocontamination due to disposal of untreated solid wasteBhanpur处理网站的博帕尔。

Water extraction without proper rechargeand leaching of pollutants has polluted ground watersupplies. In addition, leachates from agriculture,industrial waste and mainly the municipal solid wastehave been polluted surface and ground water.

Water pollution refers to any type ofaquatic contamination rendering the water bodypoisoned by toxic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms which affect living organisms and allforms of life.

To study the extent of pollution in ground水,我们选择地面水体Bhanpur Bhopal which is the disposal site ofmunicipal solid waste.

Material and Methods

Bhopal city is situated close to thegeographical centre of the country between 23º 35’Nlatitude and 77° 23’ E longitudes. The area of thecity is 285 sq.km with maximum altitude of 625mabove sea level.

的ground water bodies of Bhanpur Bhopal have been surveyed throughout the year. Few sampling sites were selected where municipal solid waste is disposed off without any scientific treatment.

It has been observed that in the areas near Bhanpur, hand pump is the only source of drinking water; few places like Mohali, Patel nagar, Bhanpur under bridge area, Damkheda were selected for sampling of potable water. The samples were collected from the study area and were analyzed for turbidity, ph, conductivity; chlorides, nitrates, total hardness, TDS, iron, fluoride and bacteriological analysis include detection of faecal coli form by following standard techniques as per BIS-10500 for drinking water requirement.

Drinking water – specification Bacteriological Examination Water in the distribution system

Ideally, all samples taken from the distribution system including consumers’ premises should be free from coli form organisms. In practice, this is not always attainable, and the following standard of water collected in the distribution system is therefore recommended when tested in accordance with IS 1622:1981.

a) Throughout any year, 95 percent of samples should not contain any coli form organisms in 100 mL;
b) No sample should contain E. coli in 100 mL;
c) No sample should contain more than 10 coli form organism per 100 mL; and
d) Coli form organism should not be detectable in 100 mL of any two consecutive samples.

Results and Discussion

的data revealed that the various physic chemical parameters were determined as per methods suggested by BIS-10500 and they were found to be under permissible limit but as shown above when we compare analysis reports of samples with drinking water specifications some parameters like turbidity, nitrates, total hardness and iron content of some samples are beyond permissible limits and the bacteriological analysis report of some of the samples of water was found to be contaminated.

的safety and acceptability of many widely used solid waste management practices are of serious concern from the public health point of view. All wastes produced were handled by their producers using simple disposal methods including terrestrial dumping in to both fresh and marine waters and uncontrolled burning. Inspite of ever increasing industrialization and urbanization the dumping of solid waste, particularly in landfills remains a prominent means of disposal and implied treatment.

Alternative treatment technologies for solid waste management include incineration with heat recovery and waste gas cleaning and accelerated composting but both of these technologies are subject to criticism either by environmentalists on the grounds of possible hazardous emissions, failure to immobilize heavy metals by land fill operations, while key question concerning the effects of the various practices on public health and environmental safety remain unanswered.
