Abstract
Water and soil are the two essential sources of life. The environmental quality is greatly focused on water and soil because of their importance in maintaining the human health and of the ecosystem. Water performs unique and indispensable activities in earth ecosystem, biosphere and needed for domestic, industrial and agriculture etc. uses. Therefore the testing physicochemical parameters and elemental analysis of water and soil must be thoroughly examined in regular interval. In the present study, the physicochemical and elemental analysis have been undertaking of water and soil collected from Gola Nala and Gola River near Lalkuan, since the water of these sources is used for irrigation of agriculture land. The physicochemical parameters i.e. Color, Temperature, pH, Total Solids, TDS, TSS, EC, Hardness, Temporary Hardness, Permanent Hardness, DO, BOD, COD, Density, Refractive Index, Viscosity examined and compared with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS, 2012). On comparison it was observed that most of the physicochemical parameters are within the permissible limit. The elemental concentration of elements analysed by EDXRF in both water and soil samples found within the permissible limit of Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) except Calcium, Chromium, Iron, Nickel, Copper, Lead in water samples and Vanadium, Barium, Iron in soil samples which were bit higher than this limit.
