Drinking Water Quality Scenario at Kallam's Green City, Ameenabad, Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh

Groundwater is the basic and prime component to be considered, as it is directly linked with the developmental activities of any area in the whole world. In the current scenario the availability of groundwater for future generation is biggest problematic question to be asked by every nation. In the actual scenario its availability is minimum and the dependency on groundwater is maximum to meet all the requirements of water demand and this situation has been continuing years long due to excessive and abnormal increments in the growth of population [6] and it becomes more worse especially in the developing countries as well as in the urban areas [8], at one side the population is increasing and at the same time the availability of natural resources like soil, clean air and portable water keep on polluting due to the natural activities like floods, droughts etc apart from manmade activities in order to improving living standards. Water in the aquifers of earth crust depends on the soil porosity, pore size and the geological conditions [10] with respect to the holding capacity of water, even though groundwater is the source to consider as one of the rechargeable resource but it is completely depends on the measures to adopt for recharging such as recharging pits and the average rainfall of that particular area. In this study all the parameters of IS drinking water quality standards 10500 – 2012 are examined for the collected groundwater samples of three cycles and the average values of three cycles were considered as final results. The results were compared to find out the existed water quality scenario at the study area
