PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS ASSESMENT OF GROUND WATER IN URBAN AREA OF KHAMMAM, TELANGANA

The present study was conducted in urban area of Khammam region for the investigation and assessment of physico –chemical analysis of ground water. The samples are collected in day time from different cites of urban area of Khammam (VDO's colony, Khasba bazaar, Cheruv bazaar, Rotary nagar, Mustafa nagar, Srinivas Nagar, SBIT, Nijampet , Khanapuram, Ballepalli) Table 3 and Fig1.Physico –chemical analysis different parameters were analyzed like PH, Turbidity(NTU), Electrical Conductivity(micro mhos), Total dissolved Solids (mg/l) Chloride(mg/l), Sulphate (mg/l), Nitrate(mg/l), Total Alkalinity(mg/l), Total Hardness(mg/l), Calcium(mg/l), Fluoride(mg/l), Iron(mg/l).Each parameter was compared with the standard desirable limits of different agencies like BSI, WHO standards, Hence it was reported that PH, Sulphates, Total hardness, Fluoride levels are within the limits of BSI(Bureau of Indian standards), WHO(World Health Organization) and remaining parameters shows variations in different study places.
