Water Quality Index has been applying in the present study to assess suitability of groundwater quality for drinking purposes in Ratmao-Pathri Rao Watershed, Haridwar District, India. This was carried out by subjecting twenty one groundwater samples, collected from eleven selected site, to comprehensive physico-chemical analysis. Nine parameters have been considered for calculating the WQI such as: pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, and total dissolved solids. The computed WQI shows that 48% of water sample falls in excellent categories and 48% falls in the good water category. On the other hand one site located at Teliwala village which represent 4% falls in very poor categories. Such waters are not suitable for drinking purposes under normal condition and further action for salinity control is required. The high value of WQI at this site has been found to be mainly due to the higher values of TDS, Ca +2 , K + , Cl-, Hco 3-, No 3 2and So 4 2where it was found that there is a very high correlation coefficient between them

Water is an essential natural resource for sustaining life and environment but over the last few decades the water quality has been deteriorated due to its over exploitation. Water quality is essential parameter to be studied when the overall focus is sustainable development keeping mankind at focal point. Groundwater is the major source of drinking water in rural as well as in urban areas and over 94% of the drinking water demand is met by groundwater. The study has been carried out to assess the ground water quality and its suitability for drinking purpose in most rural habitations of Bassi tehsil of Jaipur district, Rajasthan, India. For this purpose, 50 water samples being collected from hand pumps, open wells and bore wells of villages of study area were analysed for different physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, chloride, nitrate, fluoride and total dissolved solids.
The present study aimed to calculate Water Quality Index (WQI) by the analysis of twenty-one physico-chemical parameters on the basis of Weighted Arithmetic Index in order to assess the suitability of ground water for drinking in Kattedan Industrial Area, Ranga Reddy District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Water Quality Index, a technique of rating water quality, is an effective tool to assess spatial and temporal changes in ground water quality. It serves the understanding of water quality issues by integrating complex data and generating a score that describes water quality status. The WQI is used to classify water quality as excellent, good, poor, very poor and unfit for drinking. The parameters were measured for the calculation of WQI at nine groundwater sampling locations in September 2012.The found values were compared with the ICMR/BIS water quality standards. The results observed on WQI for the different sampling locations were found to fall under the class of poor (100-200) class at sample locations S1,S2,S5,S6,S7 to very poor (200-300) class at sample locations of S3,S8 and S9.The analysis reveals that the ground water of the area was not conforming to drinking standards and hence needs some treatment before consumption, and it also needs to be protected from the perils of contamination. It is concluded that WQI can be used as a tool in comparing the water quality of different sources.

Groundwater samples of bore wells (BW), open wells (OW), Hand Pumps (HP), lakes, falls and streams collected from different locations in Yercaud Taluk in Salem District, Tamil Nadu were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. The ground water samples were studied during pre-monsoon (June-July 2010) and post-monsoon (December 2010-January 2011) seasons from 25 different villages. The present study was undertaken to characterize the physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, Total Alkalinity (TA), Electrical Conductivity (EC), salinity, Calcium Hardness (CH), Magnesium Hardness (MH), Total Hardness (TH), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Solids (TS) and fluoride. Each parameter was compared with its standard permissible limit as prescribed by World Health Organization (WHO). The Water Quality Index (WQI) reflected that most of the samples are of good and excellent quality. The Karl Pearson Correlation matrix has approved the influence of CH on EC, Salinity and TDS with significantly positive correlation. The study reveals that all the villages have hardness within the desirable limit prescribed by WHO.
In this communication, the water quality index of Ganeshwar and Chala villages of Neemkathana block in Sikar District of Rajasthan state has been uttered. The water samples were collected from the sampling points strictly as per BIS recommendations. It is observed that the WQI of Ganeshwar village is found below 100 and in Chala Village is observed sometimes above the 100. The quality of water in Chala village is not a good quality for drinking purpose. The TDS level of Ganeshwar and Chala villages found higher than the acceptable limit of 500 mg/l. This study is given a direction for researchers in this area and facilitates to identify the sickness area due to these Physico-chemical parameters. The authors have been recommended the five stage R.O. type filtration system for reducing the Fluoride, Nitrate and TDS in these villages.

pollution Research, 2020
Ground water quality has become an important water resources issue due to rapid increase of population, industrialization, unplanned urbanization, flow of pollution from upland to lowland, and too much use of fertilizers, pesticides in agriculture. In this work, the groundwater quality of rural area of Haridwar district was studied. The samples were collected from five different rural areas and analysed with respect of physico-chemical parameters. The quality parameters were compared with standard permissible limits for drinking water proposed by national and international government bodies. The results showed that all the water quality parameters were below the permissible limits at most of the sampling stations. Only the Ca and Mg hardness were reported higher in concentration at three different sampling location. Risk assessment in respect of Ca and Mg contents at some groundwater sources indicated that these hand pump water can be consumed safely by human.

Groundwater is a vital resource for most developmental activities. Demand for groundwater is increasing due to paucity of surface water and recurrent failures of monsoons. Increasing demand for groundwater causes water level to decline and water quality to deteriorate. This data article is aimed to investigate the quality of drinking water of Obulavaripalli Mandal YSR district based on water quality Index (WQI). To evaluate WQI in the study area, twenty groundwater samples were collected and different physico-chemical parameters viz., pH, EC, TDS, TH, total alkalinity (TA), calcium (Ca 2þ), magnesium (Mg 2þ), chloride (Cl À), sulphate (SO 4 2À) and fluoride (Fˉ) were analyzed. WQI data for groundwater samples indicated that 30% of the samples fall under excellent rating, 40% of the samples fall under good category and another 30% of the groundwater is under poor category. Overall groundwater quality is not suitable for drinking purpose.
