  • GROUNDWATER ARSENIC CONTAMINATION and ITS DISTRIBUTION in KATIHAR DISTRICT in BIHAR Dr
    © 2018 JETIR May 2018, Volume 5, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) GROUNDWATER ARSENIC CONTAMINATION AND ITS DISTRIBUTION IN KATIHAR DISTRICT IN BIHAR Dr. A.K. Deo Dept. of Chemistry, K.D. College, Raniganj (Araria) Abstract : The incidence of arsenic contamination of ground water used for both irrigation as well as for human consumption or industrial activities has taken the dimension of an epidemiological problem. It has been established that inorganic arsenic is extremely toxic both acute and chronic. Arsenic (As) is one of the hazardous elements found in the environment. Arsenic contamination of groundwater is reported worldwide and, in the Katihar district, in particular. Groundwater is a major source of water for drinking, domestic and agriculture purposes. However, in some parts of this region, the quality of groundwater is questionable due to arsenic contamination. The main objective of this study is to demark the extent of the As-contaminated area in the Katihar district. This study will help for better planning and management of groundwater in the study region. Keywords : Arsenic, Ground water, Drinking water, contaminations, Katihar. Introduction Arsenic is an element that raises much concern from the both environmental and human health standpoints. Humans may encounter arsenic in water from wells drilled into arsenic-rich ground strata or in water contaminated by industrial or agrochemical waste. (Huang et.al., 1985) They may come in contact with arsenic in contaminated dusts, fumes, or mists. They may eat food contaminated with arsenical pesticides or grown with arsenic-contaminated water or in arsenic-rich soil. (Nriagu and Azcue, 1990) Groundwater contains wide variety of dissolved inorganic chemical constituents in various concentrations, resulting from chemical and biochemical interactions between water and the geologic materials.

TEL: 0651-2241509 1 2 PREFACE Following the completion of the first phase of the social assessment study and its sharing with the BRLP and World Bank team, on February 1, 2007 consultation at the BRLP office, we picked up the feedback and observations to be used for the second phase of study covering three more districts of Purnia, Muzaffarpur and Madhubani. Happily, the findings of the first phase of the study covering Nalanada,Gaya and Khagaria were widely appreciated and we decided to use the same approach and tools for the second phase as was used for the first phase. As per the ToR a detailed Tribal Development Project (TDP) was mandated for the district with substantial tribal population. Purnia happens to be the only district, among the three short listed districts, with substantial tribal (Santhal) population. Accordingly, we undertook and completed a TDP and shared the same with BRLP and the World Bank expert Ms.Vara Lakshnmi. The TDP was minutely analyzed and discussed with Vara, Archana and the ADRI team. Subsequently, the electronic version of the TDP has been finalized and submitted to Ms.Vara Lakshmi for expediting the processing of the same.
