Abstract
Water quality has become an important factor for water resources issue due to rapid increase of population, rapid industrialization, and unplanned urbanization. Hence, evaluation of groundwater quantity is important for drinking purpose, in the study area monthly wise groundwater samples are collected in selected regions and analyze to determine the physicochemical parameters to assess the quality. The analysis of different parameters such as pH, Turbidity, TDS, Total hardness, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Nitrate, Chloride, Fluorides, Alkalinity, and Iron were carried out as per standard methods in the laboratory. Results showed that Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Calcium, Magnesium (Mg2+), concentrations are very high and chloride (Cl−), alkalinity were slightly high in few samples of the groundwater. The analysis reveals that the groundwater needs treatment before consumption for drinking purpose.
