  • Abstract:
  • The current investigation aimed to analyze water samples from bored tube wells at various locations along the Budhi Gandak river, spanning from Lalmetia to Mehsi in the East Champaran district of Bihar state. The study was conducted during the winter season (January and February) of 204. Several parameters including pH, conductivity, TDS, DO, total hardness, alkalinity, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, as well as heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Fe, and As were examined. It was observed that the TDS levels in some samples exceeded the maximum permissible limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Additionally, the concentration of iron in almost all samples was found to be significantly higher than the WHO's maximum permissible limit. Furthermore, certain water samples along the Budhi Gandak river exhibited arsenic contamination, surpassing the WHO's maximum permissible limit. The presence of arsenic contamination in the groundwater of this area poses a serious concern for human health.
