Sudent, Deptt. of Environmental Science, SHIATS–Deemed University, Allahabad, U.P. Ram Bharose  Assistant Professor, Deptt. of Environmental Science, SHIATS–Deemed University, Allahabad, U.P. Abhishek James  Assistant Professor, Deptt. of Environmental Science, SHIATS–Deemed University, Allahabad, U.P. Alam Ara  Assistant Professor, Deptt. of Anthropology, SHIATS–Deemed University, Allahabad, U.P. Water represents the basic elements supporting life and the natural environment, a primary component for industry, a consumer item for humans and animals, and a vector for domestic and industrial pollution. Much of ill health that affects humanity, especially in the developing countries can be traced to lack of safe and wholesome water supply. There cannot be state of positive health and well-being without water. Th...

Asian Resonance   ( P: ISSN No. 0976-8602 RNI No.UPENG/2012/42622 VOL.-7, ISSUE-2, April-2018 E: ISSN No. 2349-9443 )   Abstract   Vinod Kumari  Research Scholar, Deptt.of Environmental Science, Maharaja Ganga Singh University Bikaner, Rajasthan, India Rajaram Choyal  Professor, Deptt.of Environmental Science, Maharaja Ganga Singh University Bikaner, Rajasthan, India Micronutrients are bio-accumulated and bio-transferred both by natural and anthropogenic sources. Soil samples were collected in each season from selected sites (Rawatsar, Badopal and Loonkaransar) for four major seasons viz. spring, summer, rainy and winter from the saline tracks of division Bikaner. Samples were analysed for Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Results showed that concentration of Copper was very high in all seasons, Manganese and Iron concentration was normal while Zinc concentration was low. It was noticed that the...
