    Groundwater Hot-Springs Analysis of Bakreshwar and Tantaloi Geothermal Fields for Its Industrial Application

    Twelve International Conference on Thermal Engineering: Theory and Applications February 23-26, 2019, Gandhinagar, India Groundwater hot-springs analysis of Bakreshwar and Tantaloi geothermal fields for its industrial application. Harsh Patel1 Parth Viramgama1 Dhairya Varanava1 Deep Maheshwari1 Manna Butani1 Manan Shah1 Anirbid Sircar1 1School of Petroleum Technology, Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar 382007, Gujarat, India Abstract The fluent that is accustomed in the industries mainly water plays an important function in terms of the effectiveness of a process, material’s selection and lifespan of the output. The study was initiated to judge the quality of groundwater hot springs located in Bakreshwar and Tantaloi geothermal fields based on physicochemical parameters. The groundwater samples were gathered from seven distinct fields, equipped with geothermal wells. The collected water samples were analysed for total hardness, the total amount of dissolved solids, pH factor, and quantitative study of carbonates, bicarbonates, sulphates, nitrates, sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium and chloride contents. Durov plot, Stiffs plot and various other diagrams were also adopted for investigating the suitability of groundwater use in an industry. Moreover, the results were correlated and compared with water quality standards based on Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) and Aggressive Index (AI). The values and result thus obtained proposed highly – to – aggressively corrosive in nature and with a significant amount of scale formation. The assessment of the groundwater from Tantaloi and Bakreshwar does not demonstrate a permissible industrial water category.

India is the largest Nomenclature user of groundwater in the world with an estimated usage of 230 cubic kilometres of groundwater per year - over a TDS Total Dissolved Solids quarter of the global total.

    Fly Ash of Thermal Power Plants

    International Journal of Geology, Earth & Environmental Sciences ISSN: 2277-2081 (Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jgee.htm 2015 Vol. 5 (2) May-August, pp. 74-91/Ghosh et al. Review Article FLY ASH OF THERMAL POWER PLANTS: REVIEW OF THE PROBLEMS AND MANAGEMENT OPTIONS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE BAKRESHWAR THERMAL POWER PLANT, EASTERN INDIA Krishna Gopal Ghosh, Kaustuv Mukherjee and *Sunil Saha Department of Geography, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT There is an enormous stress on the coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) to meet the energy requirements of our country. Currently 82 coal-fired TPPs exist in India and disposal of the increasing amounts of coal ash is becoming a serious concern to the environmentalists as the re-use/utilization rate is too low and inadequate or unscientific management results multi-furious geo-environmental degradation. Fly ash disposal and management of Bakreshwar Thermal Power Plant (BkTPP), the 3rd largest TPP in West Bengal has become a major issue of concern. This is because; the fly ash dumping ponds at Panuria and Raipur village has got filled-up about a year ago. The slurry from these ponds directly flow into the surrounding land and to the river Chandrabhaga and Bakreshwar leading to air, water and soil pollution. Overflow and blow-off the ash towards residential areas is causing unnecessary human exposure and has serious health risks. The villagers are even more affected as the ash is deposited in the fields and farmers use ash-laden water to irrigate.

Jha 1 1 AgFE Department, IIT Kharagpur, Kharagpur 721302, India; [email protected] 2 WRD&M Department, IIT Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, India; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-943-259-4699 Abstract: Providing sustainable water supply for domestic needs and irrigated agriculture is one of the most significant challenges for the current century. This challenge is more daunting in coastal regions. Groundwater plays a pivotal role in addressing this challenge and hence, it is under growing stress in several parts of the world. To address this challenge, a proper understanding of groundwater characteristics in an area is essential. In this study, spatio-temporal analyses of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon groundwater levels of two coastal aquifer systems (upper leaky confined and underlying confined) were carried out in Purba Medinipur District, West Bengal, India. Trend analysis of seasonal groundwater levels of the two aquifers systems was also performed using Mann-Kendall test, Linear Regression test, and Innovative Trend test. Finally, the status of seawater intrusion in the two aquifers was evaluated using available groundwater-quality data of Chloride (Cl−) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Considerable spatial and temporal variability was found in the seasonal groundwater levels of the two aquifers. Further, decreasing trends were spotted in the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon groundwater-level time series of the leaky confined and confined aquifers, except pre-monsoon groundwater levels in Contai-I and Deshpran blocks, and the post- Citation: Halder, S.; Dhal, L.; Jha, monsoon groundwater level in Ramnagar-I block for the leaky confined aquifer.

  • Chalcolithic Period

    Chalcolithic Period

    CHAPTER VI CHALCOLITHIC PERIOD ^ ' I MIDDLE GANGA VALLEY In the Middle Ganga Valley a total of 134 Chalcolithic sites have been discovered (Table 82, Fig. 31). Of these, 110 (82.09%) are located in Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) and 24 (17.91%) in Bihar. In U.P. one site each is located in Allahabad, Deoria, Jaunpur, and Sultanpur, eight in Ballia, 13 in Basti, 18 in Ghazipur, 27 in Gorakhpur, 16 in Pratapgarh and 24 in Varanasi districts. The location of sites in Bihar is as follows : one each in Bhojpur and Vaisali, two each in Patna and Saran, four in Bhagalpur, five in Gaya and nine in Rohtas districts. Of these, 89 (66.42%) sites are located in the Ganga plain north and 45 (33.58%) in the Ganga plain south. In the Ganga plain north 45 sites are located in the Ganga-Ghaghra Doab, 43 in the Saryupar Plain and one in the Mithila Plain. In the Ganga plain south 34 sites are located in the Ganga-Son Divide and remaining 11 in the Anga-Magadh Plain. All sites are located on river banks but precise location is known only for 31— one each on the Gomati, Rapti, Chandraprabha, Karmnasa, Son and Jamunai, two each on the Durgawati and Manorama, four each on the Ganga, Ghaghra, Kudra and Phalgu and five on the Kuwano. Distribution of sites in the region suggests that the nature of Chalcolithic sett 1ement-pattern depended largely upon topographic situation. Sites are found below 90 m contour line and are located on higher Bhangar land which is above the flood level.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION To achieve the 4% targeted annual growth rate in the Agriculture & allied sectors as envisaged in the 12 th Five Year Plan prepared by the Planning Commission, Rastriya Krishi Vikash Yojona (RKVY) will surely play the pivotal role if planning & it’s execution is done with utmost sincerity & dedicated efforts. Considering the need of meticulous planning, necessary care has been taken by all concerned to achieve the desired growth rate through exploiting all the potential areas of each & every sector situated in all the corners of the district. Purba Medinipur district is surrounded by the Bay of Bengal & Balasore district of Orissa state in its south, Paschim Medinipur in its West, Howrah district in the north and South 24-Parganas in the East. The district is geographically located between 210 36` to 22 0 57`N latitude and 86 0 33` to 88 0 12`E longitude. There are 4 sub-divisions namely Tamluk, Haldia, Kanthi & Egra & 25 blocks from the Administrative point of view whereas to look after the Agricultural Department Activities, there exists only 3 sub-divisional Agricultural offices. Entire Haldia sub-division is under Tamluk sub-divisional Agriculture office. Besides, two Blocks, namely Potashpur & Khejuri have not been divided for Agricultural Development purposes, although both of these two Blocks have been divided for Administrative purpose. Thus, Agricultural Development Activities is certainly being hampered to a limited extent. The geographical area of the district is 4,30,140 ha which is 4.7% of the state but the population percentage is 5.58 of the state. The net cropped area is 3,04,800 ha out of which 1,71,968 ha(approx) i.e.
