The Kasganj is a subdivision of Etah District (Now Known as District Kaganj) which is known for the manufacture of big cooking iron wares and kitchen utensils and is seat of small scale industries. However, there is no proper sever system in the town and industrial effluents are allowed to flow over the roads and streets, consequently dangering the ground water quality.
In order to assess the extent of ground water pollution physico chemical investigations of ground water was undertaken during summer. For this purpose six sites-Gangeshwar Colony, Aroly, Chitragupta Colony, Durga Colony, Nathuram Mohalla and Nawab Mohalla were selected for study.
The Parameters which were determined are Colour, Taste, Odour, Temperature, pH, Conductivity, Turbidity and contents Total solids, Suspended solids, Settable solids, DO, BOD, COD, TKN, BHC. The water Samples were also analysed for the determination of Calcium, Magnessium, Chloride, Sulphate, Caorbonate, Nitrate, Sodium, Potassium and free CO2.
The level of those parameters and contents were evaluated over all the six sites and results were lowest at site-4 (Durga Colony) and highest at site-3 Chitragupta Colony) in the summer.
