3.3 Drinking WATER QUALITY MONITORING

3.3.1 Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Locations

Keeping in view the importance of water as an important source of drinking water to the

local population, sample of Drinking water was collected from the project site for the

assessment of impacts of the project on the drinking water quality.

Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various

parameters to compare with the standards for drinking water as per IS: 10500 for ground

water sources. The details of water sampling locations are given in Table 3.6.

3.3.2 Methodology of Drinking water Quality Monitoring

Sampling of drinking water was carried out on September 2015. Samples were collected

as grab sample and sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative

sample were properly added to preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and

stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured for appropriate temperatures.

Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys. Sample collected for

metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological

analysis was collected in sterilized glass bottles.

Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in

and then they were transported by road to Vardan Enviro Lab, Gurgaon for further

analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. All the

samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for different parameters.

After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.

The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard

Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public

Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The analytical techniques and the test methods

adopted for testing of drinking water are given in Table 3.7.

3.3.4 Discussion on water Quality in the Study Area

The water quality in the project area is observed to neutral in nature with total alkalinity

reaching up to 44.38 mg/L against desirable limit of 200 mg/L, however, alkalinity is less

than the permissible limit of 600 mg/L. Total dissolved solids in the ground water is 90.44

mg/L which is lower than prescribed limit of 500 mg/L. However, remaining parameters

are within the CPCB prescribed limits. Arsenic and mercury which are considered to be

the very risky contaminants were found within the permissible limit too. The

microbiological contaminants (E. Coli and Total Coli form) are absent in water sample

taken from the project site.

3.4 SOIL MONITORING

3.4.1 Soil Monitoring Locations

The objective of the soil monitoring is to identify the impacts of ongoing project

activities on soil quality and also predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of

various constructions allied activities. Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil

quality has been carried out

To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the physico-

chemical characteristics of soils were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected

points and analysis of the same. Single sample of soil was collected from the project site

for studying soil characteristics, the location of which is listed in Table 3.8.

3.4.2 Methodology of Soil Monitoring

The sampling has been done in line with IS: 2720 & Methods of Soil Analysis, Part-1, 2nd

edition, 1986 of American Society for Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America. The

homogenized samples were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics (physical,

chemical and heavy metal concentrations). The soil samples were collected in the month

of September 2015.

The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for physico-

chemical parameters. The heavy metals have been analyzed by using Atomic Absorption

Spectro-photometer.

3.4.3 Soil Monitoring Results

Single sample of soil is collected from the site to check the quality of soil of the study

area .The physico-chemical characteristics of the soil, as obtained from the analysis of

the soil sample, are presented in Table 3.9.

3.4.4 Discussion on Soil Characteristics in the Study Area

The soil in study area is characterized by moderate organic content. The soil quality in

the project area has not been affected by the project activities.
