Uranium in groundwater in Punjab state, India: Status paper

In India, the average reported range of uranium in groundwater is from 0.01 to 19.6 micrograms/litre (ug/L). Uranium in groundwater drawn from handpumps and shallow tube wells (up to the depth of 45 m) was first reported by Singh (1995) in Punjab State in the year 1995.
