Assessment of Groundwater Quality of Budhjungnagar Industrial Estate and A D Nagar, Dukli & Badharghat Industrial Cluster of Tripura West District, Tripura State, India by Water Quality Index Method
Authors(2) :-M. K. Singh, Bishu Karmakar The study was carried out to assess the ground water quality of Budhjungnagar industrial estate and A D Nagar, Dukli & Badharghat Industrial Cluster of Tripura West District, Tripura after collecting samples from different Tube wells used for drinking purposes by analysing various Physico-Chemical parameters such as pH, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total dissolved solids(TDS), Total Hardness(TH), Calcium, Magnesium, Bicarbonates, Chlorides, Flurides, Sulphates, Nitrates, Iron and Arsenic using standard methods as prescribed by APHA. The observed values of these parameters were compared with the standards given by WHO. The Water Quality Index was calculated from twelve physico-chemical parameters considering their importance and the values varied from 16.07 - 148.69 and 14.1 - 132.90 in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons of the year 2016 respectively. The results of this study indicates that the studied tube well waters of the study area are suitable for drinking except four sampling locations as it contains higher concentrations of iron (Banikya Chowmuhani, Birbal Para, Unnayan Sangha and Kathaltali Madhuban). It was also observed that the drinking water quality in post-monsoon was better than pre-monsoon season.
