Abstract :

vAahuja Nagar is middle profile area, situated away from National Highway No. 6 in middle part of Jalgaon city having approximately 3000 population. Aahuja Nagar is situated on the land which was formed by landfill of municipal solid waste. The municipal solid waste treatment plant “Hanjir Biotech” is situated near this area so while transportation most of the waste fall out and spread in this area. Such practice causes environmental pollution by deteriorating the ground water quality, encourage the breeding of disease-vector insects, animal scavengers and rodents resulting in spreading of air and water borne diseases. The present study was conducted to assess the ground water quality for various physical, chemical and biological parameters to assess the contamination due to solid waste dumping. The obtained results showed that various parameters were exceeding the permissible limits given by BIS. The MPN test for all samples was also positive showing biological contamination of this water. The polluted water requires certain levels of treatment before use. Public awareness regarding waste minimization and sorting, adoption of clean technology and the use of sanitary landfill to prevent further contamination of ground water quality in this area are important and to be recommended by this research work.
