Ten groundwater samples were investigated for TDS, Sodium Adsorption Ratio, Kelly’s ratio and Soluble Sodium Percent (SSP) for irrigation suitability assessment. The analytical results shows higher concentration of total dissolved solids (20%), electrical conductivity (50%), chloride (10%), total hardness (30%) and magnesium (40%) for pre monsoon and total dissolved solids (30%), electrical conductivity (40%), chloride (0%), total hardness (30%) and magnesium (40%) for post monsoon which indicates degradation of water quality as per BIS Standards.On the other hand, 50% groundwater sample is unsuitable for irrigation purposes based on irrigation quality parameters. <#LINE#> @ @ Li Peiyue, Wu Qian, Wu Jianhua, Groundwater Suitability for Drinking and Agricultural Usage in Yinchuan Area, China,International Journal of Environment Sciences, 1(6) (2011) @No $ @ @ Bhattacharya T., Chakraborty S. and Tuck Neha, Physico chemical Characterization of ground water of Anand district, Gujarat, India,International Research Journal of Environment Sciences, 1(1), 28-33, August (2012) @No $ @ @ Deshpande S.M. and Aher K.R., Evaluation of Groundwater Quality and its Suitability for Drinking and Agriculture use in Parts of Vaijapur, District Aurangabad, MS, India, International Research Journal of Environment Sciences, 2(1), 25-31, Jan.

<#LINE#>An Overview to Smart Grid Technology<#LINE#>Rakhi@Jain,Nisheet@Soni<#LINE#>6-11<#LINE#>2.ISCA-RJEngS-2013-121.pdf<#LINE#>Power System, S.R.I.T., Jabalpur, R.G.P.V., University, Bhopal, MP, INDIA  @ Electrical and Electronics Department, S.R.I.T., Jabalpur, MP, INDIA <#LINE#>21/10/2013<#LINE#>31/10/2013<#LINE#>  Smart grid has recently been introduced to provide a smarter power grid via aiding sensors and intelligent devices. These devices will collect data from the power grid. In case of any problems, e.g., blackout, sometimes smart grid is able to heal itself automatically and oftentimes, the collected information from the power grid needs to be transmitted to the utilities (control centres), then according to the received information, the utilities will send commands to the power grid. Smart grid technology provide more efficient transmission of electricity, improved power quality, improved reliability, improved security, better integration between consumer and utility, reduction in peak load demand,  reduction in operation and maintenance cost which in turn lower the electricity rates. Smart grid provides a batter option for consumer to switchover from an old electric grid to a new smart grid. This paper presents an overview on how the smart grid drives changes in consumer behaviour and the communication with smart Devices. <#LINE#> @ @ “Smart Grid” [online].
