Impact of Textile Industrial Effluents on Water Quality of Bandi River, Rajasthan, India

Textile industries and factories of Pali city release abundantly of pollutants that get mixed up with water sources of Bandi River. In the present study the impacts of textile industrial effluent on Bandi river water was studied at Pali city of Rajasthan that is industrial hub specially for the textile industry. The present status that the many physico-chemical parameters of river water are in excess of the standard levels and they were found to be higher in concentration. The soil sites near to river became polluted due to mixing of industrial effluents coming from textile industries located nearby Bandi River. Thus the analysis of water became an apparent need for best agriculture practices. Results of current study analysis exposed significant alteration in the values of the parameters like pH, BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, Hardness, Cl- and SO4-2 from the range of standard values. On the basis of these observation it can concluded that the textile industrial effluents are adversely affecting not only the water quality of river and but also affects the soil quality. The sampling sites Punayata and Mandia showed high deviation from standards. Thus the present study concluded that the ground water quality in the study area was polluted. It also disturbs aquatic environment, features of ground water, agriculture land and human beings.
