The ground water quality is still important to the public, therefore it is important to ensure its high quality at all time so that the consumer health is not compromised. Generally, Ground water resources are affected by three major activities. i.e. The first one is excessive turn up or use of chemicals or fertilizers and/ or pesticides in agricultural areas. The second one is sewage or sludge or effluent to the environment. Finally, excessive pumping and improper management of aquifers result. And also solid waste dumping and disposal activity in an open un-engineered landfill is the one of the factor that cause the ground water pollution due to lack of pollution control interventions such as unsecured sanitary landfills, leachate treatment pond, monitoring wells, and many more Soil is a dynamic living resource whose condition is vital both to the production of food and fibber and to global balance and ecosystem function or in essence to the sustainability of life on earth. Soil, water and air are three basic natural resources upon which most life depends. Soil quality may be defined as the capacity of soil to function within the ecosystem and land use boundaries to sustain biological productivity, maintain environmental quality and promote plant, animal and human health (Doran and Parkin, 1994). For better management practices it is necessary to assess the soil and water quality and they will decide the performance of the crops. 2.

Preparation of Soil Sample If the sample is soil or mineral, take about 100 gm of the given soil sample, dry it by keeping it in an oven at 100 o C to 110 o C (at less than 60 o C if organic matter is to be estimated), crush it with a wooden mallet, sieve it in a 2 mm IS sieve (425 µ IS sieve for estimation of ph) And from the above dry powdered soil sample take 50 gm into a beaker. Add 250 ml of distilled water to it so that a soil water ratio of 1:5 is maintained (add 125 ml of distilled water only for estimation of ph) then Mix the contents thoroughly with a glass rod and allow it to remain still, After some time, preferably about 16 hours, mix the contents again so that the salts in the soil are extracted by the distilled water completely and then Filter the supernatant and use it as the sample for chemical analysis 5.2. Preparation of Water Sample Water samples have been collected according to procedures prescribed in UNESCO document. The collected samples were labelled properly indicating the exact position where the samples are collected at study area. Samples are brought to the laboratory in the bottles and analyzed for parameters and determined by standard methods (APHA 1998).

11 An Extensive Examination of Water Quality and Soil Quality Characterstices In Few Areas of Andhra Pradesh Core Capital Region at Amaravati By Using GIS Applications 6. CONCLUSIONS An assessment for Chemical analysis of core capital region of various parameters is safe and good for human activities. The properties ground water and surface water in core capital region with a comprehensive of the parameters are studied GIS helps in data capture and processing and it serve as powerful computational tool that facilitate multi map integrations. And with the help of GIS mapping we are able to show the ground water surface water quality analysis. Geographical Information System technology must be used in their assessment of pollution as it useful to analyze & get the solution easily with more accuracy This study has shown that use of GIS is very useful tool for analysis purpose. People can use soil for irrigation, ground water for drinking and surface water for agriculture fields The spatial distribution maps of ph, TDS, solids, Alkalinity and Chlorides shows that these parameters are within the permissible limit Finally it is concluded by using GIS technology has great potential to revolutionize soil, groundwater and surface water monitoring and management in the future. Rapidly expanding GIS technology will play central role in handling the voluminous ratio-temporal data and their effective interpretation, analysis and presentation through GIS applications editor@iaeme.com
