Abstract:

Analysis of ground as well as surface water samples for heavy metals-Cu, Fe, Cr, Mn and Zn has been carried out from six sampling stations in the vicinity of Ferro Alloys corporation (FACOR),Garividi,Vizianagaram Dt.(AP).An attempt has been made to study the seasonal variations. It was observed that during summer season the concentration of some metals like Fe and Cr are found above the permissible levels. Probable reduction of Cr has also been attempted.
