Impacts of Fertilization and Urbanization on Ground Water Quality: A Brief Study on Bhandara Distinct

ABSTRACT The present investigation was conducted to study the effect of fertilization and Urbanization in Bhandara distirct. The water collected from seven taluka of Bhandara district for various physico-chemical and chemical quality parameters includes pH, alkalinity, acidity, EC, TDS, BOD, DO, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, NO3 -, HCO3 -, SO4 2-, Cl-. Most of these parameters as found in this study suggested the collected water is unsuitable for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. The Studies on physicochemical and biological factors to evaluate the water quality of ground water and utility of ground water for drinking, industries and irrigation purpose and shall be helpful in preparation of environmental management plan to control the pollution and restore the river water quality for its designated best use.
