Abstract

The purpose of this programme is to determine water quality of Barapukuria Coal Mining Company Ltd. and its surrounding area in Dinajpur district. 36 samples of water (Coal water flow stream drain water, surrounding area Water samples of water from the surface of the surface and tube type of tube well) are collected from this study area. Current pH, Conductivity, TDS, DO, temperature Samples physical character are measured and recorded in notebooks. After marking it properly, by adding HNO3 control the collected samples pH 500 ml Polypropylene bottles are stored in ice box samples for chemical laboratories. Besides, the information related to the impact on the area is collected by the Barapukuria Coal Mining Company Ltd. and Barapukuria Coal-based thermal power plant. The amount of Al, Fe, Ti, Cu, Co, Cd, Zn, Ca, Mn, Mg, Na, K, As of the samples collected from the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of Geological Survey of Bangladesh was determined. Chemical analysis of the samples showed that excessive presence of any element was not exist ECR (Environment Conservation Rule). 1997 of Bangladesh Standard value.
