Abstract

In the industrial era, the untreated effluents of various industries can alter the properties of surface water and may increase the pollution load in soil system and ultimately contaminate the local ground water aquifer. The SIDCUL industrial zone has been developed very fast by establishing the major industries at Haridwar in Uttarakhand. The present paper deals with the identification and estimation of the physico-chemical variables of effluents from different major industries in SIDCUL industrial area at Haridwar. The parameters, TSS, BOD and COD of the many effluents were recorded with higher values in comparison to standards. The composite effluents of different industries have contribute significantly for the degradation of surface water and soil quality of adjoining areas of industrial zone at Haridwar. The present study shows an assessment of qualitative and quantitative pollution load in the effluents drained from the different industries in the vicinity of industrial zone.
