Abstract
Abstract
The present study is aimed to analyze and assess the critical quality parameters of ground water in district Srinagar spread over distinct seasons of the year 2020. The analysis was carried out on 15 Physio-Chemical quality parameters and 6 trace element concentrations (Lead, Zinc, Cadmium, Chromium, Nickel & Copper). Primary data was collected from 6 distinct sites of the district and subjected to methodical analysis. It was revealed that the mean values of various physio- chemical parameters are within the prescribed permissible levels while as heavy metal concentrations exhibit an escalating tendency across all selected sites especially GW1 (Pb 329, Cu 86, Ar 61, Zn 191), GW2 (Zn 132) and GW3 (Zn 144, Ar 67). The results indicate that waste disposal mechanism in hospitals of Srinagar is not environmental conducive and there is necessity to prevent further denigration of ground water sources in the region. Not denying that the present work is not the panacea for ground water contamination but the methodology adopted for this study is expected to pave way for further hydro-geological analysis in the region to identify the critical quality issues and also to explore remedial strategy to conserve the qualitative characteristics of ground water in the region.
