Abstract
Six different samples of groundwater were randomly collected following the standard sampling methods from Bhanpuri industrial area in Raipur (Chhattisgarh) and tested for various physiochemical parameters and heavy metals. The concentration of TDS, EC, nitrate, iron and lead were exceeding the standard limits prescribed by BIS. According to the NPI values, the major sources of pollution at the six different sampling points are EC, TDS, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, iron and lead. The concentration of lead is very high at all the sampling points. Evaluation of NPI for physicochemical parameters indicates that the studied water is not good for drinking but suitable for commercial and irrigation purpose. The present study shows that the industries have negative impact on the groundwater quality of Bhanpuri area.
