Description
Rainwater chemical composition was studied in eight selective mandals for two years during monsoon season. Rainwater was collected at mandal head quarters during 2006-2007. The Total Anions/Total Cations (TA/TC) ratio indicated that the chemical nature of rainwater was alkaline. Alkalinity may be due to anthropogenic origin as the area shown high corrections of calcium and magnesium due to industrialization.
Rain water sample analysis has been carried out frequently in various parts of India and also around the world. Researchers all over the world have collected and analyzed the rainwater samples in both the polluted and unpolluted environment in an attempt to study the pollution thereof. The present study is a two-year analysis of the rainwater samples collected during the monsoon period of 2006 and 2007 in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh.
