1. A spatial study of fluoride contamination in drinking water from ground water sources to explore the factors responsible and to facilitate preventive management of the fluorosis problem in Bolagad block (PI/ Co-PI):Geogenic contamination of ground water due to concentration of Fluoride in excess of limits have been observed in many parts of the country. When excessive amount of fluoride is ingested for a long period, it leads to a dreaded, crippling and non-curable disease called “fluorosis”. So there is an urgent need for suitable management interventions. For this the vulnerability assessment of affected areas at microlevel is an important activity, which will ensure concentration of management strategies and resources at proper locations. In this context it is noteworthy that there are marked geochemical and hydrogeological contrasts between shallow and deeper aquifers. So the study carried out by author analyzed the fluoride endemicity of study area at village level with focus on contrasts between shallow and deeper aquifers. An integrated study of fluoride endemicity with geology revealed that the fluoride contamination is basically associated with granite gneiss. A comparative study of fluoride endemicity layers indicated that the deeper aquifers are more endemic than the shallow aquifers in the study area., Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, 15.15 lakhs
