Geo-chemical studies of Benitura Dam, Murum and District Dharashiv

Abstract: Ground water is one of the predominant source of drinking and other related requirements. It has the most exploited natural system due to over increasing demand of man for food, cloths, industrialization, enormous growth of population and agriculture. The drinking water quality was analyzed in all season. The water quality parameters such as Electrical conductivity, T.D.S, Hardness, Calcium, Mg, sodium, alkalinity, Chloride and Sulphate were analyzed. The water sample collected from 3 stations in Benitura Dam. One result was compared with water quality standards of WHO, ICMR indicated that it is not suitable for drinking.So, the water needs treatment before human consumption.
