Abstract

The Panipat region is well  known  textile  industrial  zone  of  Northern  India  and  have  a  large  number  of  dye houses  and  textile  processes  units.   The  dyeing  house  industries  uses  a  large  volume  of  water  for  wet  dip coloring  process  and  draine  most  of   the   waste  water   as  effluent.   The   effluent   containing  composite   mixture of  different  pollutant  in  terms  of  heavy  metals.  Metal  accumulation   in  sediments  provides  a  record  of  the spatial  and  temporal  history  of  pollution  from  surface   water   to  ground   water.   The   dispersion   of   heavy metals from textile effluents  to  adjoining  pond  system  ultimately  affect  quality  of  water.  The  present  study revealed  that  pond  sediment  found   highly  polluted  regarding  heavy  metals  load.   Transfer  factor   for  Fe,   Mn, Ni and Pb was found very  high in pond through open effluent drainage system.
