Abstract
A study was made in the industrial areas of Balrampur where the effluents from a sugar mill were polluting groundwaters. Physico-chemical and microbial analysis was conducted in groundwater samples. It was indicated that EC, TDS, total hardness, BOD, COD, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride and nitrate levels were on the higher side of permissible limit of WHO standards. Balrampur is regarded as a major industrial city knowing well for its sugar mill that is the largest sugar mill of Asia by the production point of view. Groundwater resources were found polluted by different inorganic and organic pollutants, which were discharged from sugar mill. Polluted groundwater may result in various health problems.
