The municipal water supply to this area
is mostly 20-30%. Ground water table in
the city is high (50-80 ft) and hence
chances of pollution due to seepage is
high. A high level of TDS is found in the
surface and ground water of these
areas and had increased from 900-
1200mg/l in many wards. Also the
ground water table has gone downfrom
