Assessment of physico-chemical parameters of underground and sewage water of Bikaner city

In India, the industrial growth is taking place at a very fast rate, but these industries pour their effluent unplannedly into water, which detorts its quality. This water when used for purposes like irrigation brings a lot of hazards, which becomes severe in certain conditions. The vallabh garden area is one of the biggest vegetable producing area in Bikaner city and it uses industrial effluent of cottage industries for irrigation. Various physiological disorders are present in plants/crops growing here, which might be due to the use of waste water. For analyzing quality of water (Physical & chemical) ten samples were collected from the field, which also have tube well and hand pump water samples. Physico-chemical parameters which include PH, Na+, K+, Cl-, SO 4 2-, NO 3 -, F-, SAR, Total hardness, HCO 3 -, Ec, TDS were analyzed. The results show that the water samples have parameters excess in range than permissible value.
