Keywords:
Groundwater Superiority, Anthropogenic ActionsAbstract
The water and environment has become a poignant concern with the societies and approach makers. The contamination of water and atmosphere due to anthropogenic actions of human beings is a serious problem. The primary objective of this paper is to study the various groundwater sources in the surrounding of several villages from Sinnar Area, Nashik District (MS), India. The Iron concentration varied from 0.04 to 1.48 mg/L, and average concentrations of Iron was reached to 0.46 mg/L. Nitrate concentration oscillated from 02 to 162 mg/L, and average value of Nitrate is 53.13 mg/L in the study area. The average concentration of Fluoride in the study area is 0.57 mg/L. Among the fifteen samples collected seven are found to be potable.
