Status of water quality of lime stone mining area of central India

Increasing open cast mining and industrialization increase in living standard which result decrease in quality of the water. Limestone mines water [Lime stone Mine 1st situated at industrial area, Lime stone Mine 2nd situated at sensitive area and Pond 3rd (Man made) situated at residential area were analyzed for various physico chemical parameters Air Temp, Water Temp, transparency pH, TDS, Conductivity, Free CO2. Alkalinity, Hardness, chloride, PO4, DO, BOD, COD, ammonia, mercury, Ca and Mg ions. Result of this study shown that water quality of mine 1st and mine 3rd was not polluted but mine 2 is more polluted with very hard water .Data indicate that TDS, alkinity pH, hardness, ca and mg ions were found beyond the permissible limit of water quality. The mines 1st and mines 3rd water is useful for all purpose but mines 2nd water is not useful for domestic and drinking purpose and fish culture.
