| Abstract | Serious problems are faced in several parts of India due to the presence of high concentrations of fluoride in drinking water which causes dental and skeletal fluorosis to humans. The study area of higher fluoride concentration in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh, India is bounded between latitude 24°15′–24°30′N and longitude 83°15′–83°30′. Panda river flows through the area which is a tributary of Kanhar river. Sonbhadra district is quite challenging in view of its topographic features and habitats of poor and tribal people in affected villages. The present work is aimed to assess the hydrogeological characteristics playing a role in fluoride contamination of groundwater in Sonbhadra district (U.P.). This includes the assessment and monitoring of hydrogeological parameters like lithology, ground water level, and also to analyze the different chemical parameters and correlate the hydrogeological parameters with chemical parameters to understand their impact on fluoride contamination. Twenty-two ground water samples and 12 rock samples were collected from the study area in Sonbhadra district. Chemical parameters like pH, F$^{−}$, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC) hardness, alkalinity, chloride, phosphate, Ca, Mg, Na, K have been analyzed with standard analytical methods. Petrological study of rocks show that the rocks present in that area are mainly granite, granite gneiss and pegmatite. Alteration of fluoride bearing minerals through fractures present in the rock leads to leaching of fluoride in the groundwater. Generally, fluoride concentration is observed increasing in shallow water level due to erosion and the contact time with fluoride bearing minerals, but it is not always positively correlated with ground water level. Therefore, the role of weathering of different fluoride bearing minerals is more dominant reason for leaching of fluoride in groundwater. From the chemical analysis it has been observed that fluoride concentration in eight villages exceeded the permissible limit (1.5 ppm) out of 22 villages. The results of the present work prove useful in further detailed investigations on fluoride contamination based on hydrogeological evaluation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
