This study analyzed groundwater quality in 8 gram panchayats surrounding Tirupati, India over 2 years. Water samples were tested for various physicochemical parameters and results were compared to drinking water standards. While most parameters were within limits, calcium and magnesium levels were high in some areas. Correlation between total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness and chlorides indicated groundwater quality is influenced by carbonates, bicarbonates and chlorides of calcium and magnesium from local geology. Overall, the groundwater was deemed safe for consumption except for high calcium and magnesium levels, which do not negatively impact human health.
Assessment of Ground Water Quality at Kondapalli Industrial Region, Krishna D...IRJET Journal

This document summarizes a study that assessed groundwater quality in the Kondapalli industrial region of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Five groundwater sampling stations near industrial areas were tested for various physicochemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, hardness, chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, iron, calcium, magnesium and fluoride. The results found that several parameters exceeded drinking water standards, indicating groundwater quality has been impacted by industrial effluents. In particular, high levels of total dissolved solids and calcium were found, suggesting effluents from sewage, industries and seawater are contaminating the groundwater. The study concludes that treatment of industrial effluents is

Abstract
The paper briefly describes the importance of algae, vetiver grass, hydrilla and water hyacinth (Aquatic plant) in the phytoremediation of coal mine and municipal wastewater bio-purifications. A laboratory scale experiment was conducted by taking two mines, one municipal wastewater and which was compared with tap water treated by algae, vetiver grass, hydrilla and water hyacinth. The water samples were collected from mines from Jharia, Dhanbad. Municipal waste water was taken from Bekar Bandh, Dhanbad and were compared with the tap water from C.I.M.F.R, Barwa Road, Dhanbad of Jharkhand. Utilization of aquatic plant for bio-treatment of wastewater was a common practice all over the world. Use of Algae, Vetiver grass, Hydrilla and Waterhyacinth for the treatment of different types of wastewater were being practiced by researchers. But treating mine water by these aquatic plants were not in common. With the view mine water, municipal waste water and tap water were compared by the different combination of algae, vetiver grass, hydrilla and water hyacinth for the reduction or increases in the chemical properties studied e.g., pH, Sulphate, nitrate, and iron content of the water.
Experiment proved that the significant reduction in pH, Nitrate, Sulphate, Iron with Algae, Vetiver grass, Hydrilla and Water hyacinth in all the water samples taken for this study. This type of experiment will have more scope by conducting it at the bigger scale to get accurate results.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated groundwater quality in the Kurmapalli Vagu basin of Andhra Pradesh, India using water quality index (WQI).
1) Water samples from 25 locations were tested for 12 physicochemical parameters and WQI was calculated to determine suitability for drinking.
2) WQI values ranged from 44-217, with 7 locations suitable for drinking and the rest unsuitable mostly due to high fluoride levels.
3) A WQI contour map was generated to study the spatial distribution of groundwater quality in the study area. Remedial measures and structures are proposed to improve groundwater quality.

The effective implementation of such large and complex project, involving multiple states and agencies calls for immaculate planning and a robust administrative structure. In order to ensure that the traditional pitfalls of project implementation are overcome, it is proposed that a Project Development approach be adopted, wherein each facet of the project is rigorously developed from an engineering, financial, contractual, environmental and social perspective, along with interlinkages, on prioritization and selective basis and prior to commencement of implementation
Ethical & Practical Issues in Managing Internal InvestigationsGowling WLG
油
This document discusses practical and ethical issues related to managing internal investigations. It notes that investigations may be required under human rights and health and safety legislation. Proper investigations are important to avoid punitive damages in wrongful dismissal cases. The document outlines best practices for structuring successful investigations, including moving quickly, selecting a qualified investigator, collecting evidence through interviews and documents, and preparing a thorough written report. It cautions that investigations must be conducted fairly and warns of potential pitfalls like bias, hindsight, and selective use of evidence.
The document discusses smart cities, providing definitions and examples. It notes that smart cities aim to use technology and data to improve infrastructure, mobility, energy, and other services. India's smart city plan is part of a larger initiative to create industrial corridors between major cities and redevelop areas along the corridors as smart cities. Public-private partnerships with technology companies and foreign governments will be important for funding and implementing smart city projects across India.
DMIC is Indias biggest infrastructure investment and the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken. At a cost of $100 billion and covering the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, the project aims to create top-notch infrastructure and establish 24 smart cities with cutting-edge technology, connectivity across rail, road, port and air, and uninterrupted power.
Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul were identified as top smart cities in Asia. Tokyo focuses on renewable energy and earthquake preparedness. It aims for 80% of households to have smart meters by 2020. Hong Kong leads in areas like transportation, healthcare, security, and technology usage. It plans to double public WiFi spots and provide digital identities for citizens. Seoul has had high broadband penetration since the 1990s and aims to be a top 5 global city. It provides free public WiFi and uses taxi GPS data for traffic information. The report discusses the importance of smart cities for India, highlighting projects like GIFT City and Dholera, and how smart education and renewable energy can help India develop.

1) The document discusses using remote sensing and GIS technologies to identify suitable locations for underground water recharge through rainwater harvesting. It identifies five major factors that influence groundwater recharge potential: lithology, land use/cover, lineaments, drainage, and slope.
2) GIS is used to spatially analyze these factors, assign weights to each, and demarcate zones in the basin according to groundwater recharge potential. Direct surface recharge techniques like infiltration basins are discussed as the most widely used method to enhance natural percolation of water into subsurface aquifers.
3) Literature on previous studies of groundwater issues in the local region is reviewed, covering topics like seasonal water
