ABSTRACT

The study was carried out fortnightly over a period of one year from Jan.2001 to Dec. 2001,
to examine the variations of fluoride content and pH of lower Manar project water at Nanded
district of Maharashtra for assessing the suitability of water for drinking; irrigation and industrial
purposes. An average fluoride concentration of water was 0.38 mg/l having range of 0.22 mg/l
(January) to 0.60 mg/l (May). It was below the prescribed standards of BIS, ICMR and WHO for
drinking. The pH was in the range of 7.2 to 8.2 and is within the desirable limits. Maximum pH
was in July, while minimum in April month
