Abstract

The sugar mill is the backbone of rural, agricultural, and socio-economic development in India. Many industries are directly or indirectly dependent on the sugar industry which in turn is responsible for the overall development of the state. The discharge of this effluent into water bodies or on the soil causes serious problem of water pollution resulting in severe damage to the flora and fauna and further environmental degradation. The study focuses on the impact of sugar mill effluent on groundwater used for domestic purpose. The quality of groundwater was studied for the period January–December 2019. In this analysis, the parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and chemical oxygen demand were studied in the closest proximity of 1–1.5 km from the sugar mill as per Environmental Impact Assessment guidelines (Central pollution control board). The results reveal a significant variation in samples of the same parameters. The study shows that water quality parameters nearby the sugar industry exceeds the permissible limits.
