Physico-Chemical Characteristics and Analysis of Fe and Zn in Tubewell Water and Sewage Water of Bikaner City

Abstract

In Bikaner, all domestic and sewage wastes are poured into
Sursagar, near Junagarh Fort. This water also becomes contaminated
with industrial wastes when it passes through the industrial area of
Bikaner. Lastly, this waste water reaches into Vallabh Garden and
Madhosingh Bari. In these regions this waste water is used for
irrigation along with tubewell water. To study the impact of this
polluted water on tubewell water, it was necessary to examine the
physico-chemical characteristics of sewage water. For this purpose,
15 sewage water samples and 6 tubewell water samples were collected
and the value of some parameters such as pH, conductivity,
total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity, chloride, sodium,
potassium, zinc and iron, were determined. This paper presents the
results of analysis of sewage water and tubewell water.
