Abstract :

The waste water from some selected areas on Amba Nalla, Amravati City has been studied. The various parameters studied include the physical parameters (pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids and total suspended solids) and chemical parameters (dissolved oxygen, total hardness, salinity, chlorine) The pH of the samples ranged from 7.67 ± 0.006 – 9.18 ± 0.008. Total dissolved solids ranged from 408.50 ± 0.003 – 1050.30 ± 0.270 mg/l. Total suspended solids ranged from 17100.00 ± 0.230 – 544400.00 ± 0.430 mg/l. The conductivity of the samples ranged from 657.60 ± 0.300 – 1420.00 ± 0.500μs/cm. The salinity concentrations ranged from 342.200 ± 0.040 – 601.250 ± 0.650 mg/l. The total hardness of the samples analyzed ranged from 1098.600 ± 0.300 – 2603.120 ± 0.500 mg/l. Dissolved oxygen was absent in the entire sample studied. The chloride contents ranged from 280.500 ± 0.120 – 987.670 ± 0.045 mg/l. Most of the physical and chemical parameters of waste water exceeded the ISI permissible level. With the results of this investigation, waste water should not be disposed into the environment or be used as irrigation water for agriculture.
