Marg, Lucknow-226001, U.P., India. 2Department of Civil Engineering, Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lucknow-226021, U.P., India P A P E R I N F O ABSTRACT The level of arsenic contamination in ground water quality in and around Ballia district was Paper history: elucidated. The study revealed that most of the locations, the concentration of arsenic ranged from Received 29 April 2015 0.01 to 0.05 mg/L (avg 0.03 ± 0.01 mg/L); which is higher than the permissible limit 0.01 mg/L. The Accepted in revised form 15 August 2015 physico-chemical parameters were recorded such as hardness 180 to 220 mg/L (avg 199.10 ± 12.62 mg/L), alkalinity 84 to 112 mg/L (avg 96.40 ± 7.88 mg/L), TDS 225 to 605 mg/L (avg 295.85 ± Keywords: 87.55 mg/L), conductivity 340 to 916 µs/cm (avg 447.90 ± 132.47 µs/cm), chloride 12.12 to 36.36 Arsenic mg/L (avg 18.38 ± 7.03 mg/L), pH 7.40 to 7.80 (avg 7.51 ± 0.10), phosphate 0.05 to 0.44 mg/L (avg Coliform 0.16 ± 0.10 mg/L), sulphate 3.20 to 12 mg/L (avg 5.86 ± 2.22 mg/L), salinity 0.20 to 1.10 ppt (avg Escherichia coli 0.27 ± 0.20 ppt), nitrate 3.06 to 7.64 mg/L (avg 5.11 ± 1.34 mg/L) and fluoride 0.21 to 1.19 mg/L Ground water (avg 0.61 ± 0.24 mg/L).

Arsenic is a carcinogen and its Ballia district is deceit in eastern part of the Uttar consumption can negatively affect the gastrointestinal Pradesh (longitude 84°11’08.99”E, latitude tract, cardio-vascular and central nervous systems. 25°49’40.25”N). It has total area 2981 km2 and as per Certain severe diseases are faced by humans due to 2011 census having population 27,61,620. Ballia district consumption of arsenic contaminated water include is bordered by the Ghaghara in north, ChotiSaraju and liver, lungs, skin, kidney and cardiovascular diseases, Ganga River in south. There are a chain of lakes and etc. In Asia, recent years in many countries where skin ponds such as Surha Tal, Reoti Tal Mundvi Shah among lesions caused by arsenic in drinking water, have been Maniyar, Sikandarpur Tal, Bansdeeh, etc. According to extensively reported.

Arsenic is mobilized from the In groundwater, arsenic combines with oxygen to soil to the water by complex geochemical mechanisms form inorganic pentavalent arsenate, As(V) and trivalent [4]. Therefore, arsenic contamination of drinking water arsenite, As(III) depending on pH and other conditions. has to be taken as worldwide environmental issue that Arsenite is more stable than arsenate due to its requires serious attention.

Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment 6(4): 328-333, 2015 Human being is critically affected by direct contact to arsenic through drinking water [6]. The presence of arsenic in groundwater has been reported from many parts of the world, particularly in the Bengal delta of India and Bangladesh (BGS/DPHE) [7], China [4], Vietnam and Nepal [8]. Arsenic contamination in India is well documented especially in Ganga-Meghana- Brahmaputra plain [9]; firstly arsenic contamination was reported in west Bengal in 1983 [10]. Arsenic has been growing rapidly during the last few years as major pollutants of drinking water in several districts of West Bengal and many other states of India [11]. Recently, Ballia district has been reported to have arsenic Figure 1. Sampling locations of Ballia district contamination in the ground water [12].

  • A Block Wise Study, Faizabad District Sadaf and Abdul Munir Regional Development Is a Multi-Dimensional Phenomenon
    National Geographical Journal of India, An International Peer-reviewed and refereed Journal of India (NGSI-BHU, ISSN: 0027-9374/2015/1564), vol. 61 (4), Dec. : 321-332 Spatial Analysis of Regional Development : A Block Wise Study, Faizabad District Sadaf and Abdul Munir Regional development is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. It represents an overall development of any region. The concept of regional development means the fullest development of any region according to its potentialities. The problem of regional disparities is not found in India only rather it is a global problem. However, in India, it is more common than in any other country. The present paper is an attempt to show the spatial pattern of regional development at block level of Faizabad district for the period of 2010-2011. Twenty two variables have been selected for analyzing the spatial variation of development of 11 blocks of the district. For this study, secondary data have been collected from the stastical bulletin and primary census abstract. Composite index of development and Z score have been used to calculate the agricultural development, infrastructural development, industrial development, socio-economic development and finally the level of overall development. The analysis revealed that Amaniganj holds the first position while Rudauli attains the low level of development. Keywords : Regional development, Z score, Composite index of development Introduction development normally begins with identification Regional development is a multi- and analysis of regional disparities.” dimensional concept. It represents the Identification of regional disparities is very integrated study of social, economic, important in making the plan for the agricultural, infrastructure and industrial development with sustainability.

  • Agroforestry Practices in Ballia District of Eastern Plain Region of Uttar
    International Journal of Environmental & Agriculture Research (IJOEAR) ISSN:[2454-1850] [Vol-6, Issue-1, January- 2020] Agroforestry Practices in Ballia District of Eastern Plain Region of Uttar Pradesh, India Hari Om Shukla1, Anita Tomar2, Amit Kushwaha3, Rajeev Singh4*, Anubha Srivastav5 Forest Research Centre for Eco-rehabilitation, Prayagraj 4*Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ballia Abstract— Agroforestry is an efficient land-use system where trees or shrubs are grown with arable crops, seeking positive interactions in enhancing productivity on the sustainable basis. Agroforestry combines agriculture and forestry technologies to create more integrated, diverse, productive, profitable, healthy and sustainable land-use systems. The study was conducted in selected villages (1%) of Ballia District of Eastern plain region of Uttar Pradesh in India during the year 2018 to record the crop combinations with tree species and their stratified arrangement to identify agroforestry practices. The socio-economic studies based on general village profile, land holding, land use pattern and tree species planting pattern were performed in 1 % villages to collect the data with structured questionnaire and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools. The results demonstrated that a total of six different agroforestry practices, agri-silviculture, silvi-horticulture, agri- horticulture, agri-silvi-horticulture, silvi-pastoral, and homestead existed in different villages. Out of different categories, timber, fruits, medicinal, agriculture, flower and other plant species were recorded. It was recorded that out of existing agroforestry practices, scattered near farms and around homestead was found most common (about 37.7 %) followed by agri-silviculture (20.20 %), silvi-horticulture (19.1 %) and agri-horticulture (12.3 %). The pattern of plantation on bunds and blocks was 17.94 % and 16.82 % respectively.
