Physico-chemical analysis of water quality in and around Naini industrial area of Allahabad

Water is the driving force of nature and essential for a healthy lifestyle. It has always played a life sustaining role in growth and welfare of human kind. The rapid increase in the population and the need to meet the increasing demands of irrigation, human and industrial consumption, the available water resources are being depleted and the water quality has deteriorated. Therefore, the current study is an attempt to investigate the physico-chemical parameters for groundwater of Naini industrial area of Allahabad district. Four sampling sites were selected and physical and chemical contaminants estimation was adopted by the standard methods. The results revealed that all the parameters are highly affected at Sandwa and Naini railway station followed by Udyog Nagar and Labour colony. Correlation coefficient showed significant relationship. The study revealed the increase in water pollution levels of the Naini industrial area.
