Abstract
A study on Uranium contamination in Ground water which is the major source for drinking water and irrigation in Kathua and Samba district of Jammu & Kashmir has been presented. Provoked by various water quality issues in the region a new study on Uranium contamination samples in Kathua and Samba has been reported. Uranium concentration was determined through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) technique. 30 samples of Kathua and have been analyzed with minimum and maximum values being 0.043 ppb and 11.599 ppb respectively with mean value 1.96 ppb. For Samba district 46 samples were analyzed with minimum and maximum values being 0.055 ppb and 10.878 ppb respectively with mean value 2.90 ppb which depict that the uranium concentration in water samples of both the districts are well with on the range of 30 ppb prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO) and US Environmental Protection Agency.
