Pathways of heavy metals contamination and associated human health risk in Ajay River basin, India.

TL;DR: Assessment of human risk revealed that the high load of Cd, Pb and Fe in water body could harm the population and suggest that the water is highly contaminated through numerous geogenic and anthropogenic sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of geochemical data of Yamuna River using WQI and multivariate statistical analyses: a case study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the character and classification of Yamuna River water quality using secondary data and applied water quality index (WQI), cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), multiple regression analysis (MRA) and discriminant analysis (DA) to assess the water quality status and evaluate the critical parameters with identification of most prominent polluted sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Source apportionment of heavy metals and their ecological risk in a tropical river basin system

TL;DR: Pollution indices revealed that river basin is moderately to highly contaminated by Cu, Cd, and Ni and Ajay River basin is under strong potential ecological risk based on the obtained value of risk index and probable effect level/effect range median quotient index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of hydrogeochemical process and evaluation of water quality of seven geothermal springs, Bakreswar, India

TL;DR: A study was conducted in seven geothermal springs located in Bakreswar, District Birbhum, India, in order to assess numerous geochemical processes which were responsible for chemical composition of thermal and mineralized water as mentioned in this paper.
