QUALITY STATUS OF GROUNDWATER AROUND INDUSTRIAL AREA FOR IRRIGATION

Minimization of hazards needs the study of acceptable limit of hazardous loads. The study was made to determine the groundwater quality statu s in and around the Tubinakere industrial area, Mandya district, Karnataka. 96 samples from 16 locations were collected and analyzed, the data showed that correlation coefficient of calcium-chloride was 1% significant with permanent hardness and minimal temporary hardness; electrical conductivity as non-saline, normal and high saline waters and residual sodium carbonate as non-alkaline, low and medium alkalinity waters but sodium absorption ratio as non-sodic and normal sodicity waters. Study reveals the permanent hardness, salinity and alkalinity hazards.
