Abstract: The present study, based on the analysis of 100 samples which were collected from six district sources like
river Tamas, Bichhia, Bihar, hand pumps and bore wells in three different seasons. This study was carried out to assess
the cadmium concentration in ground water in hundred sampling location of Vindhya Pradesh, India, where ground
water is the main sources of drinking water. The present work cadmium concentration ranged between 0.0009 to 2.25
ppm. Cadmium was not detected in eight sampling location like Raghunath ganj (A10), Simaria( A16), Chitrangi (C5),
Madwas (C12), Suhiya (C19), Ghumghouti ( D6), Tala (D7) and Dhopar ( F3).

Limestone allows movement of ground water due
to the presence of such geology the ground water of study
area is highly affected in its quality. The aim of present
work is to assess the quality of drinking water of the
Vindhya Pradesh by analyzing Cadimum contents in
ground water.
Introduction
The Vindhya Pradesh plateau is environmentally
very important to understand the rich Indian biodiversity
and diffuse chemical pollution. The great Vindhyanchal
range extends generally from west to east and scraps at
most of its length towards. The numerous streams of the
narmada valley find their sources of the Vindhya Plateau.
Geographically the Vindhya Pradesh is a plateau straddled
by the Tamas, Bicchia, and Bihar.
Cadmium is a metallic element that occurs
naturally in the earth’s crust, especially in zinc, lead and
copper bearing ores[1]. Various types of water borne
diseases kill on an average more than 6 million children
each year i,e. about 20,000 children a day[2]. Cadmium is
released to the environment when coal and other fossil fuels
are burned and may be found in municipal wastes and
cigarettes.
Narmada surrounded by the mighty Vindhya
mountain ranges and boasting some of the richest tropical
forest. Geographically this region extends between 12 0 37’
to 230 49’ latitude and 660 04’ to 760 24’ E longitude. The
river Narmada which rises from amarkantak begins to run
through a rocky bed near Jabalpur and Mandla during the
rainy seasons a rich growth of vegetation is visible all
around. The black soils and brown soils of Vindhya bear’s
magnificent crops.
Cadmium is by product of metal industry,
especially in zinc, lead and copper refining. Industrial uses
of cadmium include metal plating and coating process,
nickel cadmium and solar batteries, paint, pigments for
machinery and baking enamels and stabilizes in plastics,
Cadmium salt are occasionally used as fungicides for golf
courses and lawns [3].
The Vindhya region comprises of variety of
minerals including bauxite shale, laterite, flagstone,
sandstone and granite etc. Soils derived from sandstone are
generally non – permeable and have no water contents. The
water table in sandstone is deeper in general shalis show
little percolation of ground water hence has limited
retaining and explanation of it.
The major problem of agricultural diffuse
pollution appears to be the heavy silt loads, along with
large quantities of dissolved salts, nutrients, organics and
34
Tripathi et al. Int. J. Res. Chem. Environ. Vol. 4 Issue 4 (34-41) October 2014
even heavy metals and bacterial contaminants washed off
during floods. With the introduction of intensive agriculture
and adoption of modern farming techniques involving the
application of much irrigation water and agricultural
chemicals, the problems caused by diffuse agricultural
pollution are bound to grow [4].
All the samples are higher than the permissible
limit during three season (Rainy, winter and summer).
From Sidhi District cadmium of all the water samples
varied from 0.002 to 0.076 ppm and the average value was
recorded 0.071 ppm as show in (Table 2 & 3). 50% sample
are higher than the permissible limit during all the season.
Umaria District, the cadmium concentration in the water
samples were ranging from 0.0037-0.0011 ppm. All the
samples were below the permissible limit during three
different season (Rainy, winter and summer). Cadmium
concentration in the water of shahdol District ranged
between 0.0026 to 2.25 ppm.
Environmental problems related to industrial
effluent disposal on land have been reported from various
parts of the country. Disposal on land has become a regular
practice for some industries and creates local/regional
environmental problems[5-15]. The toxic effects of heavy
metals are now well recognized and the toxic
concentrations were very well studied. During the last
decade an extensive database has been published providing
a direct link between the exposure to low concentration of
heavy metals and different diseases. Heavy metals viz, Cr,
Pb, Cd, Ag, Co, Ag, Hg, Ca and Sc are recognized highly
toxic and dangers pollutant [16].
Maximum Concentration of cadmium 2.25 ppm
was observed the location E18 (Bodari) as show in (Table 2
and figure 1) while minimum concentration of cadmium
0.0026 ppm, detected at sampling location E6
(Jaisingnagar). Cadmium concentration in water samples of
Panna district is completely with in the permissible limit
prescribed by WHO as (0.01 mg/l)[18]. Over all, the
cadmium of all the water samples collected from the six
district at different location were showed in the range of
0.0009 to 2.25 ppm. Maximum concentration of 2.25 ppm,
was observed at location E18 (Bodari) in vindhya Pradesh,
during the winter season while minimum concentration of
0.0009 ppm was recorded at location F6 (Gunnaur), during
the summer season as show in (Tabel 2 and Figure 1). M.
dehghani et al, [19]2011 studied cadmium, arsenic, lead and
nitrate pollution in the ground water of Anar plain and
reported 0.06 to 2.63 PPb. Pranab Sabhapandit et al, [20]
2011 studied physico-chemical characteristics of ground
and surface water Ghopur sub-division of Sonitpur District,
Assam (India) and reported the cadmium content is ND to
0.008 µg/l in DW, 0.01 to 0.07 µg/l in BW, ND to 0.02 µg/l
in ponds and ND to 0.01 µg/l in H.P.
Material and Methods
In the present study we are intended to find out the
the deffuse chemical pollution in Vindhya Pradesh on this
basis we have design the sampling station Total 6 District
were selected for this study i,e Rewa, Satna, Sidhi, Umaria,
Shahdol and Panna of Vindhya Pradesh. Rewa, Satna, Sidhi
and Shahdol are famous for industries, while Umaria and
Panna were chosen as control.
The selection of sampling station has been done
including Tehsil/headquarters, Industrial places, crop fields
and some villages. We have choosen 40 Tehsil, 14
Industrial places, 20 crop fields and 26 villages for study.
Therefore total 100 numbers of sampling location
associated for in the whole Vindhya Pradesh for water
quality analysis. Water samples were collected in three
different seasons of the year and were analyzed for their
cadmium content. Collection was done by grab sampling
method in polyethylene battles. Samples were acidified and
refrigerated. The standards used in the present analysis
were prepared as described in standard method[17].Analysis
of cadmium metal in water samples was done using perkin
elmer analyst 100 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer
equipped with perkin elmer HGA 850 graphite furnace and
perking Elmer AS 800 auto sampler with a computer
interface operation and reading display. The location of
sampling stations are shown in Table 1.
H.C. Katariya et al,[21] 2012 carried out trace
element detection in Parwati river water at Sehore and
Narshingpur Area of Madhya Pradesh and found cadmium
concentration of ND to 0.059 mg/l. Mukesh Kumar et al,
[22]
2006 studied trace level determination of U, Zn, Cd, Pb,
and Cu in drinking water samples and found 1.21-49.04
µg/l. Haque et al, [23] (2005) studied seasonal variation of
heavy metals concentration in surface water of the rivers
and estuaries of sundarban mangrove forest and reported
concentration of Cd for all seasons ranged from 0.0045 to
0.013 mg/l. the high value Cd in some areas is attributed to
rum off from agricultural fields where Cd containing
phosphate fertilizers are used discharge of untreated
sewage, tannery etc.
Results and Discussion
The cadmium concentration in the ground water
samples of Rewa district in different seasons are presented
in Table 2. The cadmium concentration ranges 0.001 to
1.17 ppm, with a average value 1.273 ppm. The highest
value of 1.17 ppm was recorded at sampling location A11
(Devtalab). In Satna District, the cadmium concentration
was ranged from 0.010 to 0.143 ppm, and average
concentration was observed 0.138 ppm.
The concentration of cadmium (<0.002 mg/l) was
found in all fine lakes of Dhaka city. Jain et al,[24] (2004)
studied trace element contamination in coastal aquifer and
reported cadmium in the studied area varied from 0.001 to
0.012 mg/l during February 2000.

Science, Trieske, Italy, (2002)
Conclusion
In the present study, it is concluded that the
ground water of these areas are not highly contaminated,
there is an indication of increasing pollutants due to
discharge of industrial effluents on land and surface water
bodies. These contaminants percolation may cause ground
water pollution, the findings are concluded below.
Cadmium concentration in the water samples of umaria and
panna district is completely within the range of permissible
limit and other four district water samples were containing
cadmium beyond the permissible limit in most of the
locations. Overall the concentration range of cadmium
varied between 0.0009 to 2.25 ppm. In future it may create
problem of ground water contamination due to heavy and
continuous discharges of waste and waste water from
industrial and agricultural activities in these districts. Hence
proper treatment of these wastes and waste water are very
much essential before discharge on land or water bodies.
