Assessment of water on up stream and down stream from HLOCCM, of Chandrapur Tahasil of Chandrapur District(M.S.)
ABSTRACT:
The piece of investigation was
carried out to study the surface water quality and physico-chemical
characteristics of Hindusthan lalpeth open cast coal mines surface water
Chandrapur district,(M.S),.during the period of nine months containing Rainy,
winter and Summer Season.(Nov 11 to july 12). Chandrapur district is located in
the eastern edge of Maharashtra in Nagpur Division .The coal mining industry
has to dispose of millions of litres of water every day to excavate coal from
mine . This water is the main source of various water supplies in the thickly
populated coal field and general use. Chandrapur city is surrounded by many
major and minor industries. In this study, water samples from Hindusthan
Lalpeth open cast coal mine were collected and analyzed. Attempt to reflect the
impact of mining on surrounding water quality of these areas. Various
physico-chemical characteristics of the mine water were analyzed with respect
to different parameters like Temperature, PH, TDS, DO, Chloride, Fluoride,
Turbidity, Hardness and metal like Fe, Mn to get clear picture of quality
parameter in HLOCCM water of the Chandrapur town. This investigation reveals
that mining activity, markedly pollute the mine water. Mine water are of highly
complex nature and of widely varying composition. These are nearly neutral,
slightly alkaline in nature. By observing the result it can be concluded that
the parameters which were taken for study the surface water quality such as
Turbidity, Chloride, Total Hardness ,Total solids are more than that of
permissible limits. The Chandrapur Tahsil in Chandrapur District covers parts
of Chandrapur City, besides the Inherent surface water pollution in the region
polluted surface water seepage is also reported. In certain areas problem of
polluted surface water gets mixed with subsurface water has also been reported
due to seepage in ground water. The metal impurity problems have been observed
in water from open cast coal mines in Chandrapur Tahsil. The occurrence of
inland impurity may be due to over development of ground water, use of surface
water and ground water in complete isolation, characteristics of aquifer or
some other reasons. The water from HLOCCM of Chandrapur Tahsil has more values
of Iron and Manganese are greater than desirable standard making water
non-potable.
