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.
