Geochemical Assessment and Modelling of Groundwater Arsenic with Land Surface Features in Ballia District using Satellite Data and GIS
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE The study examines the spatial variation of arsenic (As) level in groundwater of deep aquifers with respect to surface elevation, slope, and water-table, in Ballia, the eastern most districts of Uttar Pradesh. Total 33 water samples from deep aquifer and their site locations were taken from the 17 blocks of the district during pre and post-monsoon seasons during 2011. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer …

Dynamics of Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Ballia District, Using Landsat TM Data
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The land use/land cover is an important component to understand the human intervention with the environment. The land use/land cover pattern is an outcome of natural and socio-economic factors and their utilization by man in time and space. Land is becoming a scarce resource due to immense agricultural and demographic pressure. Hence, information on land use/land cover (LU/LC) and possibilities for their optimal use …

Geo-chemical Analysis of Arsenic in Medium Aquifers and Its Relation with Physical Parameters: A Study of Ballia District, India
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to assess the spatial variation of arsenic (As) in medium aquifer and to relate it with surface elevation and slope generated using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) satellite data and water table. Water samples were collected in both pre- and post-monsoon season in 2011. The analysis of water samples for As were carried out by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Total 33 water …
