Application of HPI (Heavy Metal Pollution Index) and Correlation Coefficient For The Assessment Of Ground Water Quality Near Ash Ponds Of Thermal Power Plants

Allian Majhi, Subhra Keshari Biswal

Abstract


The objective of the study is to divulge the yearly variation of underground water with the heavy metals like Pb,As,Cd,Se Cr  contamination.  Heavy metal pollution Index (HPI) is defined as a rating reflecting the composite influence of dissolved heavy metals.HPI is calculated from the point of view of the suitability of ground water for human consumption with respect to metals contamination. The present study is limited to analysis of heavy metals concentration in ground water and heavy metal pollution index and correlation between them is calculated.
