Abstract––A study is conducted to asses the Fluoride Concentration in the River (Godavari) and Groundwater of the
Nanded City, in Maharashtra, which is a prominent city of Marathwada Region.
The Fluoride is responsible for
many diseases ranging from simple Dental Carries Reduction to Kidney Failures and Deaths.
In the City, the
Fluoride was found to be in the range of 0.
43 mg/L to 2.
0 mg/L.
While in River water it was found to be in the range
of 0 .
23-1.
76 mg/L.
It is thereby established that the River, Groundwater and even Municipal tap water in Nanded, is
found to cross the permissible limits of Fluoride contamination in some seasons.
