| Popis: | This study examines groundwater quality along the Nandesari common effluent channel (Vadodara, Gujarat, India) designed for disposal of treated industrial effluents from the Nandesari industrial area. Groundwater samples have been collected from various available groundwater sources like hand pumps, wells, bore wells, lakes, etc. along the channel in both post-monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons and were subjected to analysis for determining physicochemical parameters like pH, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Cd, chloride, fluoride, sulfate, phosphate, electrical conductance, chemical oxygen demand, DO, etc. The chemical composition of groundwater of the study area was found to be strongly influenced by effective weathering and leaching action along with anthropogenic activities. The hydrochemical facies infer groundwater samples irrespective of seasons to be of Ca–Mg–SO4–Cl type. Furthermore, salinity, sodium adsorption ratio, percentage of sodium Na (%), residual sodium carbonate, piper trilinear diagrams, an... |
