An integrated water quality survey of borewells in Karnataka during 2006-2010 has been presented. Out of the twenty eight WHO guidelines seven parameters have been selected for critical evaluation. The data indicates that fluoride and TDS levels are very high in some specific pockets of Kolar, Gulbarga and Bijapur districts. The analytical values can be used as base reference data for future borewell water quality comparison.

Abstract


An integrated water quality survey of borewells in Karnataka during 2006-2010 has been presented. Out of the twenty eight WHO guidelines seven parameters have been selected for critical evaluation. The data indicates that fluoride and TDS levels are very high in some specific pockets of Kolar, Gulbarga and Bijapur districts. The analytical values can be used as base reference data for future borewell water quality comparison.
