摘要

Excess fluoride in groundwater-based drinking water supply is a growing concern in semi-arid tropical (SAT) regions of India. More than 16 states in India are facing the fluorosis problem. Several southern-peninsular states are experiencing monsoon climate condition, where the rainwater is harvested through tanks and used for agriculture. Presence of millions of such tank systems in these regions and their interception in the fluoride cycle has been studied here on a pilot level in several tanks. The results show that these tanks are probably acting as sinks and cause the enrichment of fluoride in groundwater. The leachable fluoride level of tank silt is found to be several fold more than that of normal land soil of the area. With the aging of the system and increase in thickness of fluorideladen tank silt, the rejuvenation of tank capacity through desilting and the practice of spreading silt in agricultural fields and further irrigating with fluorideenriched groundwater, make fluoride enter in a vicious cycle in the environment and food chain thus causing great concern. Safe disposal mechanisms of fluorideladen silt to end the cycle for safeguarding the groundwater used for drinking in the SAT regions are suggested here.
