sewage toxifying ground water

HYDERABAD : The recent spate of moderate to heavy rains in the city may have boosted the groundwater levels by at least half a metre, but a new report reveals that the water thus recharged is highly contaminated with fluorides, nitrates and large quantities of iron. A report on the state's groundwater profile by the Central Groundwater Board (CGWB) says harmful chemicals are present in the water beyond the permissible limits. "It is bad news for the people as the report mentions a rise in the nitrate levels in the water.
