Resumen

This study evaluated potential groundwater with toxic metals in and around an abundant granite mines in Jhansi. The pH values for ground waters were neutral, with a slight increase of the values in the mining areas. Higher values of electrical conductivity were observed in the mine area. In these areas, groundwater contamination by Cd, Fe, and Pb were observed. Most of the
toxic metals were decreased with distance from mines; some have decreased gradually near the adjoining residential areas which may due to mixing with metal-free waters parameters like EC, TDS, Turbidity, DO, TH were found more in mining site comparison to non-mining site.
