The hydrochemical studies in parts of Central Ganga basin, Etah district of Uttar Pradesh have revealed the presence of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Fe, Ni and Cr in the groundwater of shallow aquifer zones. Heavy metal concentrations in the deep aquifer zones are within the recommended limits of Indian Standard (IS) specified for the domestic use. The study shows that the groundwater from the deeper aquifers is suitable for domestic usage.
