Abstract
Shivalik region is well known for increasing industrialisation subjected to govt. policies and other factors for setup. Massive industrialisation has a serious impact on the natural resources and surroundings. In the study, the effect of these industries has been studied on water resources. Various physiochemical parameters viz. pH, conductance and others were determined to ensure the quality of water. The concentration of heavy metals was estimated through Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (A.A.S). Findings revealed shocking facts about the drastic change in the physiochemical parameters including metal-ion concentrations. The level of these metal-ions was found to be much higher than permissible limits and can be subjected to untreated effluent from the industries. Survey results have been merged liable on personal observations and the interaction with stakeholders.
