Abstract

In the present study, 45 RAINWATER samples were collected from February to December 2012 on event basis in East Bokaro coal mining environment. Physico-chemical and major ionic compositions of RAINWATER samples as well as water soluble major ion composition were analyzed to employ PRINCIPLE COMPONENT ANALYSIS for source identification. The average pH value was recorded 6.1 and varied from 5.1 to 6.9 in the collected RAINWATER samples, indicating slightly acidic to alkaline in nature. The RAINWATER chemistry of the region showed high contribution of HCO3- (32%) followed by SO42- (30%), Cl- (20%), NO3- (15%) and F- (3%) in anionic abundance. In case of major cations, Ca2+ (29%) was dominant followed by Mg2+ (27%), NH4+ (22%), Na+ (18%) and K+ (4%). The ratio of Cl-/Na+in the RAINWATER samples was found to be almost equal to sea water. Higher enrichment of Na+and Cl- concentration may be due to marine contribution. The EFs were found to be high for HCO3-, Ca2+, SO42- and K+indicating sources other than sea; i.e., coal mining and other anthropogenic activities. The PRINCIPLE COMPONENT ANALYSIS for ionic source identification was synthesized into four factors with eigen values cut off at greater than unity and explained about 71.8 % of the total variance. The RAINWATER quality area is mainly influenced due to mining activities, vehicular pollution and industrialization in the EAST BOKARO COALFIELD area.
