Estimation of Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Chlorides and pH of groundwater in different areas in and around Hyderabad.

Ecology

Borewater is ground water that has been accessed by drilling a bore into underground water storages and pumping to the surface. Since ground water passes through various layers of underground rocks, it has some large amount of minerals and chemicals dissolved in it. While accepted levels of minerals can benefit us , excess levels of these minerals can have harmful effects on our health. The quality of ground water in some parts, particularly in shallow waters, is changing as a result of human activities. The most common dissolved mineral substances are sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate. The Present study is aimed at estimating the amount of carbonates, bicarbonates and chlorides in different industrial areas and comparing them with the residential area in and around Hydeabad. This study also deals with the pH of groundwater in these areas.
