Abstract:

                      The aim of this study was to assess the environmental sanitation condition with regards to water, wastewater, solid waste management and hygiene of households of Sukena village, District - Nashik, Maharashtra. Generally the households had good domestic environmental sanitation conditions but it also emerged that the households were deprived from full range of access to the most essential environmental sanitation services. The poor sanitation and lack of pure drinking water produced lots of problems over Sukena village & increase in number of water borne diseases. The disposal and management of solid, liquid and grey water waste should be done properly so as to keep away breeding mosquitoes and house flies from the Sukena village.

In this study, the physicochemical parameters such as pH, TDS, DO, BOD, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Fluorides, Chloride, Nitrates, Iron etc. were analyzed to know the present status of the water quality during pre-monsoon & post-monsoon of 2013-14. Also contaminated water tested for various (pH, Total solids, BOD, COD, Salinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphate, Nitrites, Total Organic Carbon, Surfactants, E. coli) parameters is collected from drainage line  and some of the water samples affecting pesticides concentration like Atrazine, Aldrin; Dieldrin; 2, 4 – D; p, p DDT; o, p DDT; p, p DDE; o, p DDE; p, p DDD; o, p DDD; α Endosulfan; β Endosulfan; γ HCH (Lindane) in Sukena village.

Pollution of soil was checked by testing various (pH, Bulk Density, Porosity, Water Holding Capacity, Organic Matter, Total Nitrogen, Available Phosphorus, Available Potassium, Cation Exchange Capacity, Available Boron, Nitrite and Acidity as CaCO3) parameters with addition of solid waste management study, the construction details and design of the drainage chamber, composting pits, design of sanitary block should be analyzed.
