Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="text-align: justify;">The awareness of increasing water pollution implies studies concerning water treatment. The piece of investigation was carried out to study the ground water quality, nutrient status and physico-chemical characteristic of Ennore, India. Attempts were made to study and analyze the physico-chemical characteristics of the water. Various parameters like Temperature, pH,</span><b style="text-align: justify;"> </b><span style="text-align: justify;">Electrical Conductivity and Total dissolved solids, Alkalinity, Nitrate, Total hardness (as CaCo</span><sub style="text-align: justify;">3</sub><span style="text-align: justify;"> Alkalinity, pH , Phosphates and nitrates Sulphate,</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> Chlorides</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> Calcium, Magnesium sodium and potassium etc. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</span><span style="text-align: justify;">By observing the result it can be concluded that the parameters which were taken for study the water quality</span><span style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; </span><span style="text-align: justify;">are above the permissible limit of</span><span style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; </span><span style="text-align: justify;">ground water so using activated carbon to treat the ground water and then get purified water which is satisfy the requirement</span><span style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; </span><span style="text-align: justify;">for the use of various purposes like domestic, agricultural, industrial etc.</span></p> <p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="Default" style="text-align:justify"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
