Groundwater

Foreword
Kanpur has been
one of the highly industrial urban centres of India. Along with unbridled
unbanisation coupled with intense industrial activities, the city
plays host to innumerable environment related problems. These include
urban solid waste, industrial effluents and emissions besides hazardous
solid waste dumbing from the industrial sectors which ultimately lead
to ground water contamination.
This report is based on a year long survey conducted by my colleages
in Zonal Office at Kanpur to ascertain ground water contamination
from the industrial activities. |
|
| The
Central Pollution Control Board has been bringing out a series of
publications on ground water quality in different parts of the country
and the current report is the eighth of its kind. We hope, the report
will be useful in preventing ground water contamination from different
sources. |
