This paper presents the distribution of heavy metals profile in ground water system during rainy season. In this study, five residential areas (Higher Income Group I-V, Minimum Income Group I-V, Lower Income Group I-V, Juggi Jhopari I-V, and Industrial Area I-V) were chosen and ground water samples were collected to determine the concentrations of heavy metals such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) and nickel (Ni). In this study, most of the heavy metals concentrations were exceeded to the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) as specified in the WHO standard for drinking water. These results played an important role in order to determine and visualize the location. Hence, these results can help the local authorities to take an action in terms of remediation purpose.

Abstract


This paper presents the distribution of heavy metals profile in ground water system during rainy season. In this study, five residential areas (Higher Income Group I-V, Minimum Income Group I-V, Lower Income Group I-V, Juggi Jhopari I-V, and Industrial Area I-V) were chosen and ground water samples were collected to determine the concentrations of heavy metals such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) and nickel (Ni). In this study, most of the heavy metals concentrations were exceeded to the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) as specified in the WHO standard for drinking water. These results played an important role in order to determine and visualize the location. Hence, these results can help the local authorities to take an action in terms of remediation purpose.
