Ground water a gift of nature is the major source of drinking water both urban and rural India. Besides it is an important source of water for the Agriculture and industrial sector. Today Human activities are constantly adding Industrial domestic and Agriculutral waste to ground water reservoirs at an alarming rate. The quality of water is a vital co

..]]> Ground water quality monitoring was carried out during financial year 2007. Water sample were collected from a number of hand pumps and tube wells and analysed for all relevant parameters as per standard methods APHA 1995, Results were discussed with respect to possible impact on human health.

In areas where fresh water is limited, the use of effluents for agricultural purpose has been in common practice in the last few decads.1 One of the potential side effects of this practice is long term deterioration of ground water quality, as this effluent contains characteristics ionic composition, high organic matter and pH.

..]]> The environment, in which organism exists, has a profound effect on the behavior of organism. Temperature and pH are the two major abiotic factors governing the growth and activity of microbes. Microbes secrete number of degrading enzymes to degrade waste products. The microbes also have the ability of sorption the pollutants like heavy metals. Present works shows the analysis of microbes present in different environment of waste water of many industries and ponds. The fungal flora present in th

All these studies are restricted to females. The biology of male Daphnia lumholtzi Sars. has been reported for the first time from India by Das et al., (1981). Afterwards Venkataraman and Krishnaswamy ((1984) reported the occurrence and description of male of Daphnia projecta from the Southern Tamilnadu. Likewise

A famous Temple of "Keshavraj Babasaheb Maharaj" is situated in middle of sailu city. Who was Guru of Shirdis Sai baba. The residents of Sailu tehsil usually use water form bore-well for drinking and domestic purposes. There is a huge variation in the concentration of dirrrent species due to factors like depth,diffrent l

Hence the great human civilizations have developed near the fresh water bodies. Therefore the aspect of water use, as every one have become aware of water as a limited natural resources as precious if not yet as scared as gold or oil. The Pond is selected in the outskirts of village Newara, which is 22 km. away from Bilaspur towards Bilaspur-Kota road. The present study reveals the assessment of pond water in Ne

..]]> In present study the water quality of the Newara village pond was evaluated by analyzing physcio-chemical characteristics. The values obtained for various physico-chemical parameters like temperature, pH, Chloride, Total hardness, DO, BOD, COD were measured. The values of these parameters are summarized in table, which shows enormous growth of phytoplanktons throughout the year.

Ground water is also an important source for agriculture and industry. It is less prone to contamination but normally having high mineral content, still an important water resource compared to surface water. However, excessive uses of chemicals and fertilizers have increases the risk of ground water contamination¹ that wound affect ecosystem.&

..]]> Ground water is believed to be comparatively clean and free from pollution than surface water. Prolonged discharge of domestic sewage and solid waste causes the ground water to become polluted and create health hazards, but the National Water Policy (2002) states, "adequate clean water should be provided to the entire population both in urban and rural areas". Therefore the ground water samples from 15 locations of 5 selected areas namely, Kadaba, Kallambella, Honnudike, Hebbur
