Abstract

A systematic study of the chemical composition of rain water from different parts of northern India, reveals that their composition is greatly affected by several factors like distance from the sea, topography and geology of the area, intensity, duration and Interval of rain. The dissolved constituents accordingly owe their origin to bath marine and non-marine sources, although except in the case of chloride and to some extent for Na and Mg the influence of non-arine factors far outweighs the contribution from marine sources.
