Popis: Water is one of the most precious natural resources on the planet. All living species, most ecological systems, human health, food production, and economic growth all benefit from it. Water pollution is becoming more common as a result of modern industry and population growth, since it is progressively contaminated with sewage, agricultural chemicals, oils, heavy metals, radioactive material, detergents, and other synthetic goods. The current inquiry is looking into the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the surface water of the River Penna stream, as well as the ground water of the towns nearby. In the summer, water samples from surface and ground water of 14 stream samples are collected for physical and chemical examination in March 2021. It was discovered that stream water quality had degraded to the point that it had lost its ability to purify itself. The addition of contaminants at each site resulted in an increase in the concentration of different physico-chemical parameters. In comparison to upstream locations, ground water in the mid-stream and down-stream had greater concentrations of several physico-chemical parameters. In comparison with sampling sites, Penakacharla Dam Village, had lower concentrations of electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness i.e 120μS/cm2, 1250ppm, 1150ppm. Samples at Gandikota Barrage had lower concentrations of electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness i.e 192μS/cm, 1875ppm, 1900ppm Surface water quality is poor for irrigation needs, with the exception of the first two upstream locations (near Jarutla Rampuram and Palyam).
