Investigation of nitrate content in ground and surface waters in urban and rural areas

In this study, water samples collected from various ground water sources (bore wells, open wells etc) and surface water (rivers, lakes, etc) and treated water in urban and rural areas and analysed for its nitrate contents. Over 500 samples were analysed for nitrate contents so as to find out the source of contamination and the mechanism of its formation in waters.
