Physio-chemical and heavy metal assessment of groundwater near dumping sites in Srinagar District, Jammu & Kashmir, India
This study aimed to analyze and assess the critical quality parameters of groundwater in Srinagar District spread over distinct seasons of the year in 2020. The analysis was carried out on 15 physio-chemical quality parameters and 6 trace element concentrations (lead, zinc, cadmium, chromium, nickel and copper). Primary data was collected from 6 distinct sites in the district and subjected to methodical analysis. It was revealed that the mean values of the various physio-chemical parameters are within the prescribed permissible levels while heavy metal concentrations (in parts per billion (ppb)) exhibit an escalating tendency across all selected sites especially GW1 (Pb 330, Cu 87, Ar 61, Zn 192), GW2 (Zn 132) and GW3 (Zn 144, Ar 68). The results indicate that the waste disposal mechanisms in hospitals in Srinagar are not environmentally conducive and there is a necessity to prevent further denigration of groundwater sources in the region. The present work is not a panacea for groundwater contamination but the methodology adopted for this study is expected to pave the way for further hydro-geological analysis in the region to identify the critical quality issues and also to explore remedial strategies to conserve the qualitative characteristics of groundwater in the region. HIGHLIGHTS First study in Himalayan state to assess heavy metal concentration in groundwater.; An attempt to establish systematic correlation between groundwater quality and waste disposal.; Attempt to find factors responsible for groundwater deterioration.; Suggests the need for remedial measures to prevent further deterioration of the groundwater.;
