The physical and geochemical characterization of surface-water bodies (river, stream, pond) around an oil refinery at Bina, Sagar district, Madhya Pradesh, India was carried out to check plausible pollution/contamination caused by it during the pre- and post-monsoonal periods for risk-assessment and monitoring of environmental changes. The streams emerging from the refinery join Betwa river, a tributary of the Yamuna (south Ganga Basin). Various physical and chemical parameters were found to be above the acceptable standard international limits for drinking purposes.

Abstract


The physical and geochemical characterization of surface-water bodies (river, stream, pond) around an oil refinery at Bina, Sagar district, Madhya Pradesh, India was carried out to check plausible pollution/contamination caused by it during the pre- and post-monsoonal periods for risk-assessment and monitoring of environmental changes. The streams emerging from the refinery join Betwa river, a tributary of the Yamuna (south Ganga Basin). Various physical and chemical parameters were found to be above the acceptable standard international limits for drinking purposes.
