This paper presents a study on the influence of environmental parameters on ground water quality in MLK (PG) College, Balrampur (U.P.). Ground water samples were collected from different points in the college campus and their quality was compared on the basis of water quality index, which determines the water quality for drinking purpose. WQI was determined on the basis of various physical and chemical parameters like pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, acidity, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, iron and dissolved oxygen. These parameters were determined for the calculation of water quality index (WQI). A comparison of the quality of ground water of five different locations of the college has been made.

Abstract


This paper presents a study on the influence of environmental parameters on ground water quality in MLK (PG) College, Balrampur (U.P.). Ground water samples were collected from different points in the college campus and their quality was compared on the basis of water quality index, which determines the water quality for drinking purpose. WQI was determined on the basis of various physical and chemical parameters like pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, acidity, alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, iron and dissolved oxygen. These parameters were determined for the calculation of water quality index (WQI). A comparison of the quality of ground water of five different locations of the college has been made.
