Abstract

The effluent and ground water quality viz. temp, pH, E. C., TDS, alkalinity, arsenic, fluoride, D.O., COD, chloride, total hardness, phosphate, sulphate, nitrate and BOD of the Balaghat Sugar Factory Ltd. Ujana Dist. Latur and nearby dug well and bore wells were studied for the pre-and post-monsoon seasons of 2014. The analysis has shown the non-contamination of the ground waters. The ground water at the Ujna station was recorded to have different physico-chemical parameters within the prescribed limits for drinking, cleaning cloths and agricultural purposes.
