Dwarka River Basin is one of the fluoride affected river basin in Birbhum, West Bengal. In the present research work, various controlling factors for fluoride contamination in groundwater i.e., geology, aquifer type, ...
Alleppey is one of the thickly populated coastal towns of the Kerala state in southern India.Groundwater is the main source of drinking water for the 240,991 people living in this region.The groundwater is being extra...
Dissolution of fluorite (CaF2) and/or fluorapatite (FAP) [Cas(PO4)3F], pulled by calcite precipitation, is thought to be the dominant mechanism responsible for groundwater fluoride (F) contamination. Here, one...
