<#LINE#>Stomata length and Density as an Indicator of Ploidy level in Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)<#LINE#>Shrestha@Surendra Lal,Kang@ Won-Hee  <#LINE#>4-10<#LINE#>2.ISCA-ISC-2015-1AFH-19-Oral.pdf<#LINE#>Horticulture Research Division, NARC, Khumaltar, Nepal@Kangwon National University, Republic of Korea<#LINE#>29/11/2015<#LINE#>1/1/2016<#LINE#>Ploidy level determination in plant is normally done by either chromosome number count in the cell or flow cytometry analysis methods which are tedious and complicated. Hence, the suitability of the stomatal length and density as a criterion in the distinction between haploid (2n=12) and diploid (2n=24) plants of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) was tested in anther culture derived plants from seven cultivars; Derby, Special, Bossanova, Boggie and Minipaprika with 170 plants. Plants were grown in screen house and at least ten fully developed leaves from a plant were measured for its length, width and stomata impression were prepared. Stomata number and length were recorded in 1000x microscope. Result showed that mean stomata length and number were 26.4±2.4µm and 7.4±1.80µm in haploid, 35.2±2.5µm and 5.8±0.8µm in diploid that was 33.3 percent (%) and -30% higher in diploid as compared to haploid. Likewise, mean leaf length and width in haploid was 7.2±1.2 cm and 3.98±0.97 cm and in diploid 9.66±1.7 cm and 6.3±1.0cm that was 34.2% and 65.8% respectively higher in diploid as compared to haploid. Hence, haploid and diploid were significantly different in these parameter and measurement of stomata length is a rapid technique for identifying ploidy level in Sweet pepper.<#LINE#>Osuji J.O. and Okoli B.E.

The primary indigenous use of these plants appears to be of the leaves, flowers and root as a topical treatment for wound healing. The Methanol extract of leaves, flower and root of these plants were used to evaluate the wound-healing activity in rats, using excision and dead space wound models. Animals were randomly divided into six groups of six for each model. Test group animals in each model were treated with the Methanol extract of H. suaveolens, S. indicus and Z. jujuba topically in the form of ointment and the control group animals were maintained with no application. Healing was assessed by the rate of wound contraction, time until complete epithelialization, granulation tissue weight and hydroxyproline content. On day 16, the extract-treated animals exhibited 100% reduction in the wound area when compared with controls which exhibited 63%. The granulation tissue weight and hydroxyproline content in the dead space wounds were also increased significantly in Z. jujuba treated animals compared with controls (P<0.001). Enhanced wound contraction, decreased epithelialization time and increased hydroxyproline content suggest that S. indicus and Z. jujuba root extract may have therapeutic benefits in wound healing.<#LINE#>Sharma S.

Ethnobotanical information was gathered through individual interviews and observations among the Oraon tribals. Chhattisgarh state is mainly inhabited by different tribal communities and livelihood of these tribal peoples depend mainly upon the land, agriculture, hunting, fishing, the collection of food product, bamboo work and labour of any kind. Fishing is an alternative occupation of the Oraon tribals and other folk of the area. They use their indigenous knowledge about plants for catching fish easily. In the present paper, 45 different species of fish poisonous plants used by the tribals of Chhattisgarh were highlighted. Use of 10 of these species –Barleria prionitis, Elephantopus scaber, Gloriosa superba, Haldina cordifolia, Nyctanthes-arbour-tristis, Lepidagathis cristata, Hygrophila spinosa, Plumbago zeylanica, Ventilago denticulate, Sphaeranthus indicus as fish poison has not been reported so far in the literature. The study suggested that, documenting the medicinal plants and associated indigenous knowledge can be used for conservation and sustainable use of Fish poisonous plants in the area and for validation of these plants for further study.<#LINE#>Acharya D. and Shrivastava A.

Dextro-tartaric acid (D-TA) and DL-tartaric acid (DL-TA) were used as additives in the present study. Investigation was done in terms of permeation and rejection behaviour of fabricated membrane for brilliant green dye (BGD), with and without an anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) from aqueous media. Morphological study of the prepared membranes was done by field-emission scanning electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. Permeability method was used for determining the pore number, area of pores and average pore size for all the prepared membranes. Whereas, contact angle, equilibrium water content, hydraulic resistance, porosity and ion exchange capacity were measured for finding the hydrophilicity (HPCT) of these membranes. The measurements of water contact angle provide evidence that the HPCT of PSn membrane increases by addition of the D-TA in the casting solution. This study shows that addition of D-TA in membrane results in enhanced pure water flux and rejection as well as higher permeation compared to ordinary PSn membrane. We expect that hydrophilic PSn membrane modified by D-TA has a capability to be used in separation field.<#LINE#>Rajkumar D. and Kim J. G.

High blood pressure control is important to reduce many disease complications such as kidney failure, heart diseases and stroke. Apart from medications, yoga hand mudra is an effective supplement to medical healing for several clinical conditions like blood pressure, asthma, stress, obesity and heart diseases. Our study focus was on yoga hand mudra and its beneficial effect for controlling high blood pressure. Study was carried out on 34 subjects randomly, out of which 15 were diagnosed as hypertensive and 19 as normal. Yoga hand mudra was tried out on patients suffering from high blood pressure aged between 35-65 years. Blood pressure and heart rate measurements of the subjects were recorded before and after performing yoga hand mudra. After practicing the yoga hand mudra, there was a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The yoga hand mudra was found to be effective in normalizing high blood pressure in a novel way. This mudra is helpful in emergency situations where medical help is not available immediately. It can also reduce further medical deterioration of patient’s clinical condition.<#LINE#>Lopez AD., Mathers CD., Ezzati M., Jamison DT. andMurray CJ.

Initially Diethylenetriamine was converted into amides by using myristic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid followed the reaction with 1,2,7,8-Diepoxyoctane to form the targeted Gemini surfactants. The presences of functional groups were determined by FTIR spectra. The surface morphology of synthesized surfactants is characterised by scanning electron microscopy. Surface Tension measurements are used to determine the critical micelle concentration (cmc), the maximum surface excess concentration (?max), minimum area per molecule (Amin) at air /water interface, Gibbs free energy of adsorption, (?Gads) and other parameters. The inhibition of gemini surfactants on the corrosion of carbon steel (CS) in 1N H2SO4 aqueous solution was studied at 30°C by weight loss method. Performance tests like foaming power and stability, emulsifying ability, wetting power, dispersion capability, contact angle with respect to glass, steel and teflon probe were studied. Within the same homologues series, expected decrease in critical micelle concentration (cmc) with the increase in hydrophobicity was observed. The cmc values of the gemini surfactant were found to be remarkably low. The results show that foaming power, foaming stability, dispersion power and emulsifying ability are very good. The wetting power of synthesized surfactants is quite better. The synthesized surfactant may be used as emulsifier, dispersing agent and corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in acidic medium.<#LINE#>Adewale A., Andrea G. and Thomas W.

The creation of flood hazard maps would promote greater awareness about the risk of flooding. Taking Krishnai river basin of Assam as an example and using available data from government agencies, a composite hazard index has been devised incorporating variables like ?ood frequency, drainage density, slope, population density, access to potable water, and availability of elevated area and maximum risk zones were mapped accordingly. Therefore, in the present paper an attempt has been made with an objective to produce flood hazard map based on climate, geomorphology, hydrology for flood preparedness, and emergency response and propose an integrated flood management (IFM) that can be used to promote sustainable flood risk management measures. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are frequently used to prepare flood hazard maps. It provides an effective way of assembling information from different maps and digital elevation models. The extent of flooding can be calculated by comparing local elevations with extreme water levels using GIS. It can support planning and development by identifying high risk locations and steering development away from these areas.<#LINE#>Ajin R.S., Krishnamurthy R.R., Jayaprakash M. andVinod. P.G.

The internal combustion engines have found wide application in transportation. In the present paper, Comparative study on low heat rejection engine (LHRE) using two different better thermal barrier coating (TBC) ceramic materials. Considerable efforts were made to develop advance adiabatic engine and aim to reduce heat lost. Experimental investigation is carried out under different load condition on a twin cylinder, water cool, and constant 1500 rpm speed diesel engine. The plasma spray coating technology is used for TBC for diesel engine combustion chamber. The one set of combustion chamber inner walls of diesel engine are thermally insulated by top coat of Metco 204NS yttria stabilize zirconia (YSZ) /(Y2O3ZrO2) with thickness of 350 mm and 150 mm thick bond coats of AMDRY 962 Nickle chromium aluminum Yttria (NiCrAl) respectively. The another set of diesel engine combustion chamber top coat by MgZrO3Y with 350 mm thickness and 150 mm thickness of bond coat by NiCrAlY. The results were compared with base engine and two different LHRE. The MgZrO3Y coated LHRE found better combustion, performance and emission characteristics. The noise level was found satisfactory without knocking in LHRE.<#LINE#>Modi A.

Pillared clay was prepared from natural bentonite clay with aluminium chloride and was found to be effective for humic acid removal. The adsorption of humic acid onto Al-PILC has been dynamically and thermodynamically investigated. Batch experiments were carried out as a function of solution pH, contact time, humic acid concentration, ionic strength and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity was observed at a pH of 3.0. The maximum adsorption of 90 and 80% took place at pH 3.0 from an initial concentration of 15 and 30 µmol L-1, respectively. Lagergren first order kinetic model was tested to describe the kinetic data. As the initial concentration increases from 15 to 60 µmol L-1 the percentage adsorption decreases from 90 to 65. The percentage removal of humic acid increased with increasing ionic strength. The equilibrium isotherm data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich and Scatchard isotherm equations to obtain the characteristic parameters of each model. The Langmuir model represents the experimental data fairly well as is evident from the correlation coefficient r2 and relative standard deviation (?q%). The maximum adsorption capacity (Qo) obtained from the Langmuir isotherm plot was 26.18 µmol g-1 at pH 3.0 and at 30 oC. Isotherm experiments conducted at different temperatures allowed the calculation of the isosteric heat of adsorption at different surface loading. The desorption data showed that the spent PILC can be regenerated for further use by 0.1 M NaOH.<#LINE#>Cheng W., Seyed A., Dastgheib and Karanfil T.

The sample comprised of 100 female undergraduates representing all three media of instruction; Sinhala, Tamil and English. The participants in the sample were selected using a stratified sampling technique. Assertiveness was measured using the original and the translated versions of The Rathus Assertiveness Schedule. Ex-post facto survey design was used. Analysis of data was done descriptively as well as inferentially using chi square test for association. Findings indicated that approximately two third of the students were seemed to be possessing assertive behaviour. Compared to non-assertiveness of Sinhala and Tamil media groups, majority of the participants in English medium group was found to be categorized as having non-assertiveness. Among the demographic variables that influence assertiveness of students, medium of instruction and father’s occupational levels were found to be statistically significantly associated with assertiveness. The study recommended carrying out a longitudinal survey on assertiveness of students before and after they are enrolled to the Faculty of Education to determine whether the lowered level of assertiveness is because of English as a medium of instruction and to introduce assertiveness skills training program intending to improve assertiveness of the first year Arts students.<#LINE#>@@http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/sri_lanka_statistics.html, http://www.unicef.org/education/files/QualityEducation.PDF, http://www.unicef.org/srilanka/overview_1647.htm@No$Dinham S.

Considering the economic importance of the pests and to reduce the poisonous effects of pesticides to pollinators and natural enemies, studies were carried out on the efficacy of cow urine for management of honeybee diseases, insect pests and plant diseases as an alternative to synthetic pesticides. A rapid recovery was observed in disease incidence and mite infestation in honeybee colonies of Apis mellifera during the experiments conducted at different locations of Uttarakahnd, India. This novel approach of spraying cow urine for honey bee disease management has adopted by several beekeepers of Uttarakhand. Similarly, cow urine was also found very promising against mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi and wheat aphids, Microsiphum miscanthi and Rhopalosiphum padi and showed higher attractancy of natural enemies and pollinators (in mustard crop) with increase in grain yield. On the other hand, a miraculous effect of cow urine was observed in vitro conditions against stem rot of mustard caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with cent- per cent inhibition in mycelial growth. Cow urine was also found effective against disease incidence of white rust and alterneria blight in mustard under field conditions.<#LINE#>Kumar S.

This paper deals with Potentiometric Analysis of Dimethyl Sulfoxide, Di-n-octyl Sulfoxide, Diphenyl Sulfoxide, p-di-tolyl Sulfoxide and Indium Complex of Diphenyl Sulfoxide in Non Aqueous Solvents such as sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, glacial acetic acid and acetic anhydride. In present analysis two types of potentiometric titrations Oxidation-Reduction and Acid-Base titrations in nonaqueous solvents have been performed, and interest is focused upon changes in the e.m.f. of an electrolytic cell as a titrant of precisely known concentration is added to a solution of the analyte. OSAW direct reading potentiometer was used to carry out redox titrations using platinum and saturated calomel electrodes. The pH-titrations were made with an ELICO LI-10 pH-meter in conjunction with Glass (EM-42) and calomel (ER-70) electrodes. An end point is located more precisely by plotting successive values of the rate of change of cell e.m.f. vs each increment of titrant in the vicinity of the inflection point. The position of the maximum on the first derivative curve corresponds to the inflection point on the normal titration curve. Fairly accurate results with high degree of precision are observed.<#LINE#>@@DMSO (2009). exactantigen.com.

Structural properties were investigated by using x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscope, optical ones by using a UV–visible spectrophotometer and electronic properties by means of dc four-probe resistivity measurements. The refractive index, extension coefficient, energy band gap with various thickness of thin film is investigated using Manificier et.al method.<#LINE#>Jeon M.S. and Kamisako K., (2009)@HydrogenatedAmorphous Silicon Thin Films as Passivation LayersDeposited by Microwave Remote-PECVD forHeterojunction Solar Cells@Transactions on Electricaland Electronic Materials, 10, 1-5.@Yes$Chandra R., Chawla A.K., Kaur D. and Ayyub P.

Surface topology of the composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of treatment on thermal properties of composites has been investigated using a non-steady state method known as the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. Effective thermal conductivity (ETC) and thermal diffusivity of the composites have been measured by TPS at room temperature and normal pressure.

Gandhiagar, Gujarat, India <#LINE#>18/10/2015<#LINE#>31/12/2015<#LINE#>Energy has become prerequisite to represent economic development and improved quality of life for citizens of any country. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization in last few decades, there is a huge pressure on depletable crude oil, coal and other fossil fuels. It has been also observed that use of conventional crude based petroleum fuels are affecting pollution level and their combustion products are found responsible for the global warming and climate change. So researchers are doing their research to find out green energy alternatives to reduce emission of green house gases. About 70% population of India lives in rural areas and majority of them are engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry and small scale rural industries. In agriculture there is tremendous increase in energy consumption with increased use of tractor, bore well, irrigation pumps and farm machineries etc. Using anaerobic digestion of different biomasses such as cow/cattle dung, vegetables/fruit/agriculture waste, droppings of poultry farm, industrial waste water, municipal solid e/sewerage waste etc., biogas can be produced .In rural areas cattle dung and vegetable waste whereas in cities and urban area municipal solid waste are available in abundant quantity, from which biogas can be generated. In composition of biogas methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), traces of hydrogen sulfide, and moisture is found. Biogas quality can be upgraded by removal of CO2, H2S resulting into increased methane content nearer to the natural gas. Gas obtained after removing CO2, H2S, and moisture from raw biogas is equivalent to natural gas which can be compressed for bottling in cylinders and can be used as fuel for vehicle engines. Any low cost technique to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from biogas can make biogas a techno-commercially viable fuel. In this paper results obtained during experiments on biogas purification by chemical scrubbing i)) dry lime and potassium hydroxide and ii) aqueous solution of Caustic and lime are shown. Also results of on road testing of a vehicle fuelled with purified compressed biogas are shown showing one can purify the raw biogas to convert it to bio CNG which can be used as a vehicular fuel.<#LINE#>V.K.

Imagine two kinds of probability dependent games A and B, mediated by coin tossing. Each of them, when played separately and repeatedly, results in losing which means the average wealth keeps on decreasing. The paradox appears when the games are played together in random or periodic sequences; the combination of two losing games results into a winning game! While the counterintuitive result is interesting in itself, the model can very well be thought of a discretized version of Brownian flashing ratchets which are employed to understand noise induced order. There are a plenty of examples from physics to biology and in social sciences where the stochastic thermal fluctuations or other kinds actually help achieving positive movements. It is in this context, the Brownian ratchets and the kind of prototype games may be explored in detail. In our study, we examine various random combinations of losing probabilistic games in order to understand how and how far the losing combinations result in winning. Further, we devise an alternative model to study the similar paradox and examine the idea of paradox in it. The work is mostly done by computer simulations. Analytical calculations to support this work, is under progress.<#LINE#>ParrondoJ. M.R.

One Such Field is Automotive Industry. There are many Techniques which are currently being utilized for Navigation and Road Safety. Here in this paper, we have proposed a methodology with Augmented Reality as a new bee technique which acts as a navigation aid in autonomous vehicles. Automatic detection of traffic signs plays a vital role in navigation. This paper proposes a system in which the automatic recognition of traffic signs can be done by extracting the geometric features of a particular sign. The input image of the traffic sign from the camera is used to categorize the shape of the sign, and then on the basis of background color along with the properties of geometric shapes present, the sign is recognized. A simple yet definitive and optimized algorithm in which geometric shape based, color based recognition and image identification techniques together with Augmented Reality has been employed.<#LINE#>Solanki D.S. and Dixit G.

As Nepal is rich in tall gymnosperm us species including conifers like Pinus sp, Picea sp, Tusga sp, Larix sp, Abies sp, Juniperus sp and angiosperms like Sal (Shorea Robusta), Semal (Bombax malabricum), Asna (Terminalia termentosa), Dalbergia spp, pipal (Ficus religiosa), banyan (Ficus bengalensis), Castenopsis indica, Schima wallichii, Alnus nepalensis, Acer oblongum and various species of bamboo, oak, rhododendron moreover Orchids and climbers were greatly affected besides natural shrubs and herbs. But they try to avoid and escape such damage through morphological, anatomical, biochemical, genetical alterations as plants are the immovable properties of nature. A preamble prediction could be done to understand the magnitude of damage due to the Shearing (S) and Primary (P) waves as plants experience such waves those disturb the sub-aerial root system which in turn badly impaired the biology of the plants as a whole including water conduction, cell signaling, loss of neighbour detection and other major threats that results the loss of biodiversity.

A white subject can appear reddish at sunrise or sunset, and blue-greenish on cloudy days. Colour changes results from different colour temperatures. This paper shows the experimental method of calibration of silicon solar cell and measurement of colour temperature of light sources. A silicon solar cell is calibrated for its spectral efficiency and subsequently it is used for measurement of colour temperatures of incandescent light sources of unknown colour temperature. A light source of known colour temperature and a series of interference filters are made use of for the calibration. Solar cell efficiency was normalised to particular wavelength. The root mean square deviation for all the wave lengths were calculated and plotted against the colour temperature. From the curve between colour temperatures and r.m.s deviation, colour temperature was obtained and it agrees very well with temperature of lamp for the known voltage.<#LINE#>ISO 3664 (2009).@No turning back, Various light sources; GTI Graphic Technology@Inc., 211 Dupont AveNewburgh, NY 12550, April.10, (2012)@No$Ed.

The availability of parking is related to the price, location and the type of parking spaces followed by infrastructure of these spaces and enforcement of regulations. Parking spaces are required by residents, employees, customers and visitors and the movement of traffic. Therefore Kolkata is one of the fast urbanising countries in the world and standard of living of the residents of Kolkata has increased dramatically and it has resulted in an unprecedented increase in personalised mode of vehicles. These huge numbers of personalised vehicles require a storage system at the end of travelling hours, which is called parking. However there are two categories of car parking which have been observed in the city and it includes on street and off street parking. On street parking is most commonly observed in the city of Kolkata and further it has been said that illegal on street parking leads to traffic congestion and it emits huge amount of vehicular pollution. Transport Department, Government of West Bengal and Kolkata Traffic Police have been taken various initiatives and provisions to mechanise on street car parking legally and make a balance between the demand and supply of parking in the various on street parking spaces in the city. B.B.D Bag, Esplanade area, Park Street, Gariahat and other adjoining commercial areas which include South City Mall, Mani Square Mall, Quest Mall, Metropolis Mall, Lake Mall are the main places for on street car parking in the city. Kolkata Municipal Corporation and Kolkata Traffic Police have been implemented several parking fees to maintain these car parking spaces systematically. Therefore in this paper an attempt has been made to point out various aspects of parking characteristics such as location, area, duration of parking, accumulation and volume in the parking spaces followed by some guidelines and provisions which will surely make better Kolkata city in future.<#LINE#>Ajai Sreevatsan (2011).@Time to Boost Public Transportin a big way@, The Hindu, 3.@No$Government of west Bengal (2014).@Investment Plan forTransport infrastructure in KMDA@, Kolkata, 34-56@No$Kolkata Traffic Police (2015).@We care for you,Government of West Bengal@.@No$Government of India (2013).@National Urban TransportPolicy, Ministry of Urban Development@, New Delhi@No$Singh S.K.

Almost 3 years date backs, there was no no-refusal taxi for the beneficiaries of the passengers in Kolkata city. Now, there are two type of taxis which are most commonly observed which means refusal and no-refusal taxi. Refusal taxis are mostly refused the passengers during peak hours when the passengers are usually required these yellow cab taxis for reaching to their destinations. However No-refusal taxi drivers usually could not be able torefuseany passenger because of stringent governmental rules and notified regulations. While it has been observed among simplified taxi drivers, they are frequently refused the passengers for some obvious reason such as lunch or dinnertime, small distance as well as traffic congestion etc. In that case these refused passengers wish to complain report to the police against these taxi drivers because West Bengal Traffic Police has already notified some rules against of these refusal. In addition to that incident, police could punish them by claiming money or notified fine as well as taking some confidential bribe. In order to removing the problem of refusal , Transport Department, Government of West Bengal has initiated and implemented new No-refusal taxi during last two years date back. Therefore, these taxi drivers are also deprived by Kolkata Traffic Police incorporating by lower down meter, high amount of penalty, unconditional governmental rules as well as more hike penalty than the specified fine in the governmental rules. In this condition, the taxi drivers don’t even have any recovery suggestion or solution. As a subaltern resource, the taxi drivers are also deprived by the administration system, government as well as by the passengers. Therefore in this research paper, several objectives have been incorporated to identify the group of people who are engaged in this profession followed by making an assessment on taxi drivers and their problems and to know, whether they are deprived or not and what are the reasons behind that. Therefore an empirical case study has been done on the passengers as well as drivers to know the key problem of this dichotomy of refusal as well as no-refusal problem regarding taxis in Kolkata. On the other hand, several articles, secondary data, as well as few questionnaires are being solved by the taxi drivers of Kolkata which has been shaped this research paper more empirical. Several cartograms have been done based on those primary survey data and secondary data as well as several photographs have been snapped out by the author to make this research paper more scientific. Finally, In this research paper an attempt has been made to point out the problems as well as find out some solutions of these economically deprived as well as socially deprived group of people means these taxi drivers in Kolkata city.<#LINE#>The Times of India (2015).@What we expect from the taxidriver?@, 4.@No$The Times of India (2015).@civic people are harassed bytaxi driver@, 3.@No$The Telegraph (2015).@Continuous harassment by taxidriver@, 1.@No$The Times of India (2015).@Taxi drivers: are they reallysub altern group@, 1.@Yes

The Godavari district is also known as the rice bowl of Andhra Pradesh. Godavari River is the second longest river in the country with a length of 1,465 km spreads over an area of about 5,100 sq km on the east coast of India bordering the Bay of Bengal and is a densely populated basin. The study area bounded on its North by Kottapalli; Pithapuram; in the West by Samalkota, Pedapudi, Karapa; in the South by Tallarevu and in the East by Bay of Bengal. The area is flourished with lands of fertile soils, good rain fall and balanced climatic conditions and possesses all the natures hand works of perennial rivers, forests. The sea coast covers 144.4 sq km with made up of Gondawana sandstones. The average annual rain fall is between 110 and 115 centimeters. 20 ground water samples collected at different parts of the study area for Physio-chemical analysis. Using the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation method in ArcGIS software, spatial distribution maps of 12 major water quality parameters are prepared. Water Quality Index (WQI) has been calculated to find the suitability of water for potable purposes. Ground water samples analyzed show quality parameters are pH, Electrical Conductivity, TDS, Fluorides, Chlorides, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Turbidity, Magnesium, Alkalinity, Hardness and water zoning using spatial data.<#LINE#>Subba Rao N.
