Groundwater Quality, municipal solid waste Dumpsites, Public HealthAbstract
Groundwater is a vital and purest form of natural resource. In recent years, various anthropogenic causes have threatened its natural quality. Therefore, its suitability for drinking, irrigation, and other purposes creates doubtful conditions for human well-being, especially in developing countries. This present study evaluated groundwater quality for drinking, and human health hazard purposes, particularly in residential areas around municipal solid waste dumpsites in Kanpur city. This is a qualitative analysis based on the questionnaire survey method. The findings of this survey help qualitative evaluation of the quality of underground water on which the whole population depends for their daily needs.
