Ground water Quality Report at M.V.J.Medical College, Dandupalya, Hoskote Taluk
Water and health are inter-twined in many
ways and it is important to address the increasing need
for adequate and safe water to protect both the people
and the planet. Water is one of the earth’s most
precious and threatened resources and health is each
one of our most precious resource. Hence we need to
protect and enhance them both. In the recent years,
groundwater in the study area forms the mainstay of
drinking water supply for meeting the community
needs. But the threat of groundwater contamination is
looming large over the study area. Contamination of
groundwater source could occur due to pollution from
industrial, agricultural and community living. Also,
geology of the region has an important bearing on
certain dissolved constituents in the groundwater
supply, in particular like fluorides. In view of this, it is
of paramount importance to look for and to evaluate
the physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters
in the drinking water of the area and assess their
status of potability in the light of the criteria laid by
Bureau of Indian Standards (B.I.S)
