The impact of the polluted river Kali (east) on the groundwater of Meerut : 9783656821106 : 3656821100 : 27 Nov 2014 : Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 8.5, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), course: EMRL, language: English, abstract: Now-a-days the groundwater quality is continuously being degraded due to the percolation of polluted water from the wastewater drains, polluted rivers and ponds. As a result its quality has not remained potable in many parts of the country. To assess the impact of the highly polluted Kali River, physic-chemical characterization has been performed on different groundwater samples collected from hand pumps and tube wells from 7 villages located at different distances from the pollution source. The main water quality parameters that have been used to assess the quality of groundwater abstracted through shallow and deep hand pumps placed in the different villages along the banks of River Kali (E
