Native and contaminated ground waters in the Long Beach-Santa Ana area, California

Southern California women, through local chapters of the People’s Council of America for Democracy and Terms of Peace, actively resisted American involvement in World War I. Vilified, threatened, and refused meeting places and publicity, these women activists persisted in their cause. This article looks at women in the Santa Ana, San Diego, and Riverside chapters of the People’s Council and highlights their diverse backgrounds and their links to other progressive causes.

Drinking Purpose

In Rajasthan state the ground waters of some areas like Ramganj-mandi, Morak, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Chittor and Udaipur etc. are susceptible from drinking point of view.To test the quality of groundwater in Chittor district 14, ground water samples were collected from various places and analyzed for pH, E.C., Fluoride and Nitrate parameters by standard methods (A.P.H. A., Washington, USA, 1995). The study revealed that none of the ground waters was found suitable completely from drinking point of view. Some are having electrical conductivity > 1.4 dS/m, some are having pH >8.5, some area having fluoride >1.5 ppm and some are having nitrate>45 ppm. These are the limits of various parameters permitted by various International authorities like Bureau of Indian Standard, Indian Council of Medical Research,world health Organization etc. for drinking waters. So, it is recommended to the residents of above areas to use water for drinking purpose only after reverse osmosis or adopting suitable method of removing excess of Fluoride and Nitrate for drinking water to avoid unwanted pathogenic diseases harmful for human health.
