Ground Water Quality Analysis for construction of Part of Mumbai Metropolitan...AM Publications
Groundwater quality in the study area has been analysed in the present work. For this study, a part of Mumbai
Metropolitan Region were selected which covers almost the entire area. Fifteen water samples, from various bore wells
covering the study area during post monsoon season 2013 were collected to find out the values of different parameters in the
groundwater so as to check the suitability for construction. The tests for different parameters like, chloride, Sulphates,
suspended solids, Inorganic material, organic material, limits of acidity and, limits of alkalinity were performed by using
Standard procedures and the results were compared with IS456 guidelines. All samples, except two (In Virar and Vasai’ where sulphate’ content was more than 1600 mg/l.) are suitable for construction. Samples from ‘Old Panvel’, ‘Virar’ and
‘Nalasapora’ were tested for the suitability for irrigation also, since the ground water is used for irrigation in those areas. The
important parameters affecting for irrigation purposes are: Electrical Conductivity (EC), Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR),
Sodium percentage (Na %) and Residual sodium carbonate (RSC). All the parameter values were within the permissible range, hence the ground water from the said areas is suitable for irrigation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Brown amber 350 ml glass sampling bottles
3 samples from each station
Sample no.1- Residential areas
Sample no.2 - Commercial areas
Sample no 3 - Public places (Railway stations)
18. • The water is supplied to the Mumbai is from the Bhandup water treatment
plant
• The capacity of Bhandup water treatment plant is about 1950 MLD
• The free chlorine concentration is go on continuously decreasing as the
water passes through water treatment plant to the distribution system
• The chlorine concentration is higher in the Bhandup, Mulund, Kanjurmarg
area and after it is go on decreasing up to CST Mumbai
21. • The Bhandup water treatment plant(WTP) is using chlorine for disinfection
• The water supply pipelines in Mumbai are very old age and there are
leakages in the water supply pipelines and are increasing day by day
• There are chances of leakages in the water distribution system which
causes the contamination of organic matter through it & chances of
ammonia formation are there
• Hence chances of formation of Monochloramines in the water cannot be
ignored.
