The objective of 2 Assistant
this study is to identify the quality of groundwater especially in the town areas where groundwater is used for domestic, agriculture and industrial purposes. Ten locations of ground water samples were collected and studied for a month of January-2017. The present investigation is focused on the determination of Physico-Chemical and Mechanical parameters such as temperature, taste, Electrical conductivity, pH, hardness, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, chlorides, sulphate, nitrate, fluorides, Dissolved Oxygen, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and strength of materials on water. Then, groundwater suitability was examined by using WHO and BIS standards. Therefore, the some of the water samples are not good agreement within the limits; those waters are treated with natural polymeric material like Ricinus Communis seed shell nano-aggregates, and then used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and machinery purposes.
Keywords Bore well water, Water quality parameters, Ricinus Communis, WHO and BIS standards.
I. INTRODUCTION Water is one of the abundantly available substances in nature. It is an essential constituent of all human beings, animals, vegetable matter and forms about 75% of the matter of earth crust. It is also essential in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and countless other human activities. Water is required for the satisfactory performance of various life processes as a circulatory fluid as a carrier of nourishing food and for the removal of products of wastes. Water is not only essential for the lives of animals and plants but also occupies a unique position in industries. Probably, it’s most important use as an engineering material is in the Steam generation. Water is also used as a coolant in power plants and chemical plants. In addition to it, water is widely used in other fields such as production of steel, rayon, paper, atomic energy, textiles, chemicals, ice, and for-conditioning drinking, bathing, sanitary, washing, fire-fighting etc [1]. The transportation vehicles and industries emit the lot of greenhouse gases like carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere which pollute our environment and create global warming and reduce rainfall. Hence we need for clean and green technologies for pollution abatement.
