| description | Industrial activity is one of the major reason of groundwater contamination. Arsenic is one, which is responsible
for the contamination of the groundwater. Its testing in groundwater is considered as an important activity due
to its serious effects on human health. Arsenic problem in Pakistan has been identified recently as a result of field
testing. In Faisalabad, arsenic has been found in groundwater within permissible limit. But due to increasing
industrial activities the concentration of arsenic is increasing day by day. Drain passing through the city is one of
the sources of arsenic in groundwater. The research work was conducted at Syedabbad, Faisalabad. Samples were
taken from the selected drain portion and from the groundwater by the help of water pumps. The sampling points
were drawn on GIS map by the help of GPS receiver to study the spatial variability of arsenic contamination The
results shows that there 10109.9 mg per second intake of arsenic due to drain. Results show that there is no
temporal variability of arsenic within the research period but they have spatial variability |
