ASSESSMENT OF GROUND WATER QUALITY USING WATER QUALITY INDEX WITHIN 4KM RADIUS OF SAFEDABAD DISTILLERY PLANT IN BARBANKI DISTRICT Ankit Kumar Khatik1, Mr.Bilal Siddiqui2 1Student at BBDU, Lucknow 2 Assistant Professor at BBDU, Lucknow ------------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------scarcity in many parts of the world. The situation is ABSTRACT - Groundwater is a significant piece of the

aggravated by the problem of water pollution or contamination. India is heading towards a freshwater crisis mainly due to improper management of water resources and environmental crisis is already evident in many parts of India, varying in scale and intensity [2]. It is estimated that nearly 70% of our water sources are polluted. The growing scales of cultural and technological development pose new threats to water quality. In India, there is clear visible threat to the quality of water. The predicted water demand for future is alarming. Groundwater is the primary source of water for human consumption as well as for Agricultural and industrial uses in many regions all over the world. Due to inadequate availability of surface water, groundwater remains the requirement of human activities. Groundwater remains the only option to supplement the ever increasing demand of water. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the world’s population use groundwater for drinking (UNEP, 1999). Groundwater contributes 0.6% of total water resources on Earth. It accounts for nearly 80% of the rural domestic water needs and 50% of the urban water Needs in the developing countries in India. The quality of water resources is being increasingly degraded as consequence of its intensified anthropogenic exploitation. In developing countries like India, around 80% diseases are directly related to poor drinking water quality and unhygienic conditions. Groundwater contamination by different pollutants, natural geological formations and due to the intensive agricultural and urban development has placed the whole environment at greater risk. Poor quality of water adversely affects the human health and plant growth. Groundwater quality monitoring is a tool which provides important information of water management. In this regard, the present study has been focused on quality assessment of groundwater of radius of sugar industry located Rauza gaon village in Faizabad district and its suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. The details of this investigation are presented in various chapters of this volume

water cycle and it is essential wellspring of drinking water just as quality Farming purposes. The fast industrialization causing difficult issues concerning the appearance of groundwater degradation because of the release of treated or somewhat treated wastewater from industry Thus, it is important to evaluate the groundwater. This research investigates the effect of the sugar industry effluent on the quality of groundwater supported groundwater quality index. The sugar industry is the most significant agro-based production in India. This release of sugar industry passes through the soil which causes the degradation of groundwater as well as surface water and soil which besides people suffer from various health hazards. The general water quality status portrayed by the Water Quality Index (WQI) through which numerical score got from the coordination of complex water quality parameters. In this paper effort has been made for the study of physico-chemical characteristics of sugar industry effluent, the outcome of the sugar industry effluent on groundwater quality, evaluating Water Quality Index for groundwater. For suitability of human consumption. Key words: Ground water, water quality index, physico-chemical.

1. INTRODUCTION Water is an essential natural resource and an absolute necessity for sustenance of life. Water is not only the most important essential constituent of all animals, plants and other organisms, but it is also pivotal for the survivability of the mankind in the biosphere. According to annual report of International maize and wheat improvement centre, in the global water resources about 97.5% is saline water mainly in oceans and 2.5% is available as fresh water. Fresh water is a finite resource and is locked in icecaps and glaciers or lies in deep underground reservoirs. The percentage of freshwater in rivers and lakes is very meager. Most of the surface waters in India, including both rivers and lakes are getting increasingly polluted due to onslaught of human activities of diverse nature. The demand for water has increased over the years and this has led to water
