Abstract
Water is most essential element on the surface of earth. There is no possibility of life on earth without water. Contaminants present in the water destroys its importance make it a cause of many diseases. Contamination of groundwater due to uranium in different part of worlds is as a result of natural organic industrial activities, fertilizers in agriculture and mining. All the people in the world mainly depends upon safe groundwater for use of drinking. In south-western region of Punjab, India the situation is critical due to chemical contaminants in water and limited study had done on source of chemical contaminants, ground water quality. Intake of groundwater contaminated with uranium can cause nephrotoxicity, genotoxicity and development effect. Uranium mainly affects kidney tubular cells, bone effect and different form of cancer can be caused. There is chemical and radioactive effect on human due to Uranium. Present review paper give information about sources of groundwater contamination with uranium, different techniques for analysis, uranium health risk and also how to remove this problem.
