Abstract

Shivalik region is well known for increasing industrialisation subjected to govt. policies and other factors for setup. Massive industrialisation has a serious impact on the natural resources and surroundings. In the study, the effect of these industries has been studied on water resources. Various physiochemical parameters viz. pH, conductance and others were determined to ensure the quality of water. The concentration of heavy metals was estimated through Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (A.A.S). Findings revealed shocking facts about the drastic change in the physiochemical parameters including metal-ion concentrations. The level of these metal-ions was found to be much higher than permissible limits and can be subjected to untreated effluent from the industries. Survey results have been merged liable on personal observations and the interaction with stakeholders.

喜马拉雅山下Shivalik地区工业化对饮用水水质的影响及其地理分析

希瓦利克地区以工业化程度的提高而闻名，这受到政府政策和其他因素的影响。大规模工业化对自然资源和环境产生了严重影响。在这项研究中，研究了这些行业对水资源的影响。为了保证水质，测定了各种理化参数，如pH、电导率等。通过原子吸收分光光度计（A.A.S）估算了重金属的浓度。研究结果揭示了包括金属离子浓度在内的物理化学参数发生剧烈变化的令人震惊的事实。这些金属离子的水平被发现远高于允许的限度，并且可以受到来自工业的未经处理的流出物的影响。调查结果已根据个人观察和与利益相关者的互动进行合并。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
