Why Amaravati Ground-Water not good for Drinking?
By: Tupaki Desk | 2 Nov 2015 6:45 AM GMT
Amaravati, the green-field capital of Andhra Pradesh, is likely to face severe water shortage as the ground water in the region is already highly polluted. Extensive use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers for decades in the crops spread across 33,000 acres has been the reason behind it.
As per a recent Research, Ground Water in AP Capital region contain Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Nitrates and Flourides more than the maximum limit. The ground water here is either saline or alkaline, ranging from 200 mg per litre to 400 mg per litre.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in villages like Undavalli and Penumaka is over 2,000 mg per litre. Whereas, Chloride in villages falling in Tadepalli surpassed 250 mg per litre. The ground water in all these villages isn't preferable for domestic use or human consumption as disease causing microorganisms were found during the study.
