Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsASSESSMENT OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN AN ARSENIC CONTAMINATED VILLAGEKumud C. Saikia, Susmita GuptaArsenic contamination of ground water has occurred in various parts of the world, becoming a menace in the Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra basin (West Bengal and Assam in India and Bangladesh). Recently arsenic has been detected in Cachar and Karimganj districts of barak valley, Assam, bordering Bangladesh. In this area coli form contamination comprises the major constraint towards utilization of its otherwise ample … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 31 Aug 2012 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIndustrial Waste-an Economical Approach for Adsorption of Heavy Metals from Ground WaterMargherita Pettinato, Debolina Mukherjee, Silvestro Andreoli et al.A by product from steel industry mainly known as blast furnace slag is a waste product which was tested for the removal of As(III), from ground water. Steel slag is a commercial waste material mainly consisting of SiO2, Al2O3 and CaO, the former two chemicals being major components of zeolites and the latter a major component of Hydroxyapatite (HAP). Arsenic … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2015 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigating the Effect of Three Nitrate Fertilizers on Nitrate Leaching under the Root Zone in Clay Loam SoilThamer Ahmed Mohammed, M. Nooshin, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. Noor, A. LiaghatProblem statements: Nitrogen fertilizer is recognized as an important factor in crop’s yield level, however more application of N fertilizers in the soil have some adverse effects on environment and especially on groundwater contamination. Perception and recognition the factors influencing nitrate transport through soil profile is helpful for fertilizer management to minimize adverse impacts on environment and nitrate leaching below … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Evolution of Nitrate Pollution of Groundwater in the Plain of Western Middle CheliffNessrine Belmiloud, Naïma BettaharGroundwater constitute a potential source of drinking water supply and should, consequently, benefit from the necessary protection against the various forms of pollutions, particularly those diffuse of agricultural origin. The plain of Western Middle Cheliff which contains an important resource in groundwater supplying the whole population of the province of Chlef and contributing to the satisfaction of the need for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Jan 2016 · 7,141 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGOLD MINING IN IGUN-IJESHA, SOUTHWEST NIGERIA: IMPACTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR WATER QUALITYO. O. Ayantobo, J. A. Awomeso, G. O. Oluwasanya et al.This study was carried out in Igun-Ijesha, Osun State, Nigeria to determine the likely hotspots of water contamination for future treatment trials. Water quality analyses were based on physico-chemical and heavy metal parameters of surface and ground water collected from the study community. A total of thirty-eight water samples were collected between September 2012 and February 2013 and analyzed using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 8 May 2014 · 9,130 accessesView PDFCite
