The spatial distribution of Fe and Mn in the paper mill effluent contaminated area of Jagiroad, Assam, India were investigated using statistics, geostatistics and GIS techniques. The total concentration of Fe and Mn were determined for 188 samples collected from the contaminated area. The mean concentration of Fe (7629 mg kg1) was high. The highest and the lowest standard deviation were observed in the Fe (1749) and pH (0.81), respectively. Analysis of the isotropic variogram indicated that the Fe semivariogram was well described with the Gaussian model, with the distance of spatial dependence being 1354 m, while Mn was well described with the spherical model, with the distance of spatial dependence being 833 m. The ordinary kriging estimates of Fe and Mn maps showed that high concentrations of these metals occured in the low-lying areas like bils (lakes). For both the investigated heavy metals the prediction of goodness (G) value was greater than zero. This indicates that spatial prediction is better than assuming mean of observed value as the property value for any unsampled location. Thus the geostatistical method was spatial variability of Fe and Mn. Not Available |
