Abstract :
The main reason for fresh water pollution can be attributed to discharge of untreated waste, dumping of industrial affluent and run-off from fertilizer/pesticides applied in the agricultural fields. Industrial growth, urbanization and the increasing use of synthetic organic substances have serious and adverse impacts on fresh water bodies. Another important problem is the seawater intrusion. Such intrusion results in decrease in fresh water recharge. As the seawater moves in the inland groundwater aquifers become contaminated with salt and other elements causing permanent damage to the groundwater quality. Visakhapatnam city, which forms the present area of investigation, presents such situation.
