Abstract:

The fluoride content of the ground water in and around Berhampur, the Silk city of Odisha (India) located in eastern coastal line of Ganjam district was determined during Jan-2009 -Dec-2012 to find the suitability for drinking purpose. Samples were collected from 25 locations of Berhampur city from various ground water sources in rainy, winter and summer seasons. In this study fluoride content present in the ground water having different location with the correlation coefficient between the various physic-chemical parameters were determined. Fluoride has a good positive correlation with total dissolved solid (TDS) in 2009-10, a positive correlation with nitrate, TDS & slightly positive correlation with alkalinity in 2010-11 and has a positive correlation with nitrate and slightly correlation with Alkalinity during 2011-12. It is observed that the fluoride content of ground water in the selected reason is varies from 0.09 to 1.7 mg/l during the research period.

Keywords:
