Dye Industries are a Threat to the Environment: An Assessment of Groundwater Characteristics
Every day, it becomes more difficult to find water. The main factor causing water body contamination is human activity. Groundwater becomes contaminated when improperly treated waste water from industries and other sources gets mixed with it. The primary objective of this initiative is to treat water that has been contaminated by toxic substances. The study’s focus is on the process of eliminating additional compounds such as sulphate, nitrate, phenol, fluoride, mineral oil, calcium, and turbidity. The usefulness of ground water for specific uses depends on its chemistry, physical characteristics, and bacterial makeup. The groundwater’s pH, fluoride, nitrate, sulphate, turbidity, hardness, phenol, and other characteristics were all measured. The treatments took into account aeration and sedimentation. The water is then recommended as safe for household and agricultural purposes.
