Abstract

A of total forty samples were collected and analyzed for major ion chemistry of the groundwater quality and its suitability for drinking as well as irrigation purposes. The pH ranges from 7.76-9.26 and 7.45-8.68 indicating the water is slightly alkaline condition. TDS ranges from 95-655 mg/l and 147-1184 mg/l during pre and post monsoon season. Total Hardness (TH) ranges from 95-655 mg/l and 88-510 mg/l; Chloride ranges from 28-877 mg/l and 22-706 mg/l during pre and post season respectively. The majority of the samples are suitable for domestic purposes due to low to medium hardness, however few samples are described as very hard and unsuitable for domestic, drinking and irrigation purposes. Various indices like Salinity Index, Sodium Absorption ratio (SAR), Kelly’s ratio (KR), Permeability Index (PI) and Water Quality Index (WQI) are used to classify groundwater and surface water for drinking as well as irrigation purposes. Besides this, Piper, Wilcox, and Gibb’s plots were studied for geochemical controls and Hydrogeochemistry of groundwater.
