CONCENTRATION OF IRON AND MAGNESIUM IN GROUND WATERAT NORTH BELA OF DARBHANGA DISTRICT (BIHAR)

Excessive levels of Fe, Mg and TDS are the main factors affecting groundwater quality at North Bela, Darbhanga. However, there are few studies on the source and effect of Fe, Mg and TDS concentration in the groundwater. This study takes at North Bela of Darbhanga city in Bihar state as an example, where the source and effect of Fe, Mg and TDS concentration in groundwater in the study area were analyzed. The results show that the source of Fe and Mg in the groundwater of the platformis the iron and Magnesium nodules in the soil layer. The TDS, fluctuation in groundwater levelsarethe important factors affecting the content of Fe and Mg in groundwater.This studyprovides a basis for the rational utilization of groundwater and protection of peoples health in these areaswith high iron, magnesium and TDS concentrations.
