💨 Abstract

The Indian government has confirmed that the presence of uranium in water in Andhra Pradesh's Tummalapalle is due to natural deposits of the radioactive mineral in the region. Extensive hydro-geological investigations by several agencies found no significant contamination from the Uranium Corporation of India's mining project. High groundwater uranium concentration in upstream areas suggests natural contamination, resulting in poor water quality.
