Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the analysis of groundwater quality in a mining area, focusing on the potential impacts of mining activities on water resources. The research conducted a detailed investigation into the quality of groundwater in the selected mining area, evaluating various physicochemical parameters and potential contaminants. The study aimed to assess the current state of groundwater quality, identify any pollution sources, and recommend appropriate mitigation measures to safeguard water resources in the region. The introduction provides background information on the significance of groundwater quality in mining areas and highlights the potential environmental and human health risks associated with contaminated water sources. The problem statement emphasizes the need for proactive measures to monitor and manage groundwater quality in mining regions to prevent adverse impacts on ecosystems and communities. The objectives of the study include assessing the physicochemical properties of groundwater, identifying potential sources of contamination, evaluating the impact of mining activities on water quality, and proposing strategies for sustainable water resource management. The literature review delves into existing studies and research findings related to groundwater quality assessment in mining areas, highlighting common contaminants, monitoring techniques, and remediation strategies. The research methodology outlines the approach taken to collect and analyze groundwater samples, including sampling procedures, laboratory analyses, data interpretation, and statistical methods employed in the study. The findings chapter presents a detailed analysis of the groundwater quality parameters measured in the mining area, identifying key contaminants, their concentrations, and spatial distribution patterns. The discussion section critically evaluates the results in the context of existing literature, highlighting potential sources of contamination, factors influencing water quality, and implications for environmental management. The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the study, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing groundwater quality in mining areas to prevent environmental degradation and protect human health. The significance of the study lies in its contribution to the understanding of water quality issues in mining regions and the development of sustainable management practices to mitigate potential risks. Overall, this thesis provides valuable insights into the analysis of groundwater quality in mining areas, offering recommendations for future research directions and practical interventions to ensure the long-term sustainability of water resources in similar environments.
