Abstract

Khurja  is  a tehsil of district  Bulandshahar (U.P.) India which is  famous for  manufacturing of  crockery products. There is  a large scale slaughter house at Mundakhera  road  which discharges its  blood  red effluents in  nearby ponds having area  more than S acre. The city Khurja is  situated on  G.T.  road  between Aligarh and  Bulandshahar cities and  approximately  75  km   away from Delhi   towards  south. This paper presents  a  case  study of water quality of  hand pumps situated  around the  ponds  which receives more than 80% blood  red effluents of  slaughter house. The study reveals that  the  ground water quality of hand pumps selected within range of 2 km.   from  slaughter house is  not  suitable  for drinking purpose with   respect to  colour, odour,   pH, TDS,   conductivity, hardness, DO,    BOD  and   chloride at  sampling points 1-3  while at  sampling point 4  and S the   parameter  colour, odour,  pH,   hardness, BOD   and  chloride  were found within limit   of drinking purpose where as  TDS,  conductivity, and   DO  were  observed beyond the   limit.
