Quality Assessment of Collected Groundwater Samples Around Naregaon Dumping Yard, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India
The growth of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generation in India has increased due to dominantly increasing population in recent years. The solid waste management is a very important aspect. Improper solid waste management creates many environmental and human health problems. In the present study, assessment of groundwater (GW) contamination due to solid waste dumping site around Naregaon, Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state, India, is carried out. In the present study, GW samples are collected at 15 days interval during June 10, 2016 to May 25, 2017 (i.e., pre as well as post monsoon season). These collected samples are tested by standard methods of testing, and each sample is analyzed for nine parameters: pH, EC, TDS, Cl, SO4, Ca, NO3, Pb, and Zn. The variation in contamination levels of corresponding samples with respect to the distance of collected sample from MSW dumping site is also analyzed. The analyses of collected water samples shown that the GW were highly contaminated. Especially during the August to November, wells nearer to the MSW dumping site are highly contaminated, which may cause many waterborne diseases and other environmental problems.
