Impact of Municipal Solid Waste on Groundwater in the Environs of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation Area, Andhrapradesh, India N
International Journal of Engineering Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 6734, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 6726 www.ijesi.org Volume 2 Issue 3 ǁ March. 2013 ǁ PP.28-32 Impact of Municipal Solid Waste on Groundwater in the Environs of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation Area, Andhrapradesh, India N. Victor Babu1, P. Jagadeeswara Rao2, I.V.R.K.V. Prasad3 1,2,3Department of Geo-Engineering, College of Engineering (A), Andhra University, Visakhapatnam-530 003 ABSTRACT: The study deals with physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater in the environs of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh. The study area covering about 1143 km2 is famous for major industries, often called as Industrial City or Visakha Steel City. Haphazard urbanization, industrialization and improper disposal of solid wastes leading to contamination of groundwater, have been focused in this study. The improper and unscientific solid waste dumps in the unlined sewage drains drive pollutants into the groundwater regime which is an irrevocable loss and literally not possible to bring the quality of groundwater to its original state. In this study, about 25 groundwater samples were collected covering the entire area during August 2011. The water samples were analyzed to identify the parameters of physical, chemical and trace metals on the basis of APHA standard methodology. Trace metals of Al, Mn, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Cd, Pb and Co are in high content in areas like Akkireddypalem, Balacheruvu and Lankelapalem. These areas are in the vicinity of industries like Hindustan Zinc Ltd. and Visakha steel plant. Systematic work has not been carried out to discover the reasons for the accumulation of higher toxicants in these areas. -
