Alteration In Surface Water Quality Near Textile Industrial Area In Panipat Region

Abstract

Mostly the water is used for industrial, municipal and agricultural purposes. In the last two decades, the rapid growth of industrialization and urbanization have created negative impacts on the environment. The industrial, municipal and agricultural wastes containing pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers residues, organic pollutants and heavy metals in their effluents have polluted surface and ground water. So, water resources must be managed and conserve on sustainable basis for the most beneficial uses in the future. The present study is aimed for an assessment of water quality affected by textile industrial effluents.
