Groundwater quality should be continuously monitored for irrigation and drinking purpose so that risk from geochemical contaminants can be reduced by appropriate treatment method. Therefore, the focus of the present study was to determine the suitability of groundwater collected from South West Delhi, India, for irrigation and drinking purpose on the basis of various water quality indices. In order to assess the groundwater quality, 50 samples were collected from different sites of selected study area and parameters such as pH, EC (electrical conductivity), total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, total hardness (TH), total alkalinity (HCO 3 −), calcium (Ca þ 2), magnesium (Mg þ 2), sodium (Na þ), potassium (K þ), chloride (Cl −), Fluoride (F −), sulfates (SO 4 −2) and Nitrates (NO 3 −) were determined. Based on the above parameters, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), permeability index (PI), magnesium adsorption ratio (MAR), Kelley's ratio (KR) and Na% were calculated. Water quality index (WQI), which is an important and unique rating to represent the overall water quality in a single term that is useful to determine the suitability of water for human consumption, was also estimated. The present dataset demonstrated the application of water quality indices that would be helpful to policymakers for appropriate management, treatment and sustainable societal development at large.
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.
Analysis of Groundwater Quality of Aligarh City, (India): Using Water Quality Index
Current World Environment, 2014
Water is essential for all living organisms for their existence and metabolic process. Unethical human intervention in natural system and over exploitation of groundwater resources induces degradation of its quality. In many instances groundwater is used directly for drinking as well as for other purposes, hence the evaluation of groundwater quality is extremely important. The present study is aimed to analyze the underground water quality at Aligarh. In this study 80 water samples were collected from 40 places and analyzed for 14 water quality parameters for pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons (2012). The water quality index of these samples ranges from 18.92 to 74.67 pre-monsoon and 16.82 to 70.34 during post-monsoon. The study reveals that 50 % of the area under study falls in moderately polluted category. The ground water of Aligarh city needs some treatment before consumption and it also needs to be protected from contamination.
Quality Characterization of Groundwater using Water Quality Index in Surat city, Gujarat, India
Groundwater is a natural resource for drinking water. Like other natural resources, it should be assessed regularly and people should be made aware of the quality of drinking water. The present study is aimed at assessing the water quality index (WQI) for the groundwater of Surat city. This has been determined by collecting 125 groundwater samples from 39 areas of Surat city and subjecting the samples to a comprehensive physicochemical analysis. For calculating the WQI, the following 13 parameters have been considered: pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, total dissolved solids, iron, boron, and fluorides, COD and DO. The WQI for these samples ranges from 15.93 to 977.86. The high value of WQI has been found to be mainly from the higher values of iron, nitrate, total dissolved solids, hardness, fluorides, and boron in the groundwater. The results of analyses have been used to suggest models for predicting water quality. The analysis reveals that the groundwater of the area needs some degree of treatment before consumption.

Ground water being the pristine resource plays an important role in fulfilling the needs for domestic, industrial and irrigational purposes. It is of prime importance to civilization, as is the largest resource of drinking water. Pollution of this resource has become an issue of great concern with increased urbanization and industrialization. Contamination of groundwater by industrial effluents, agricultural fertilizers and domestic sewage are recognized as a major threat. Many of the pollutants make their way into the groundwater and change its quality. This work is thus aimed at investigating the seasonal variations (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon) in groundwater quality from Sirpur-Kaghaznagar and its suitability for drinking purposes for which ground water samples were collected and analysed on the basis of various qualitative parameters from 24 different stations and evaluated for physico-chemical parameters by implementing standard methods. Water quality index (WQI) was calculated based on 12 parameters. The study revealed that the groundwater quality was altered with respect to parameters, such as pH, EC, TDS, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Na, TH, F, SO 4 2 , and NO 3-. Water quality index calculated for three seasons ranged to fall in good to unsuitable category attributed to the use of agricultural fertilizers by farmers, by paper industry effluents and mineral composition of aquifers in the study area. The suggested measures includes, proper disposal of effluents by paper industry, change in cropping pattern and creating awareness at local level. IJEP 37 (10) : 805-813 (2017)
Pollution Research
Groundwater has been considered as an important source of water supply due to its relatively low susceptibility to pollution in comparison with surface water, and its large storage capacity. It should be mentioned that water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing that drinks or uses or lives (in) it. When humans drink polluted water it often has serious consequences on their health. Water pollution can also make water unsuited for the desired use. In this context, an attempt has been made to assess the ground water quality of Ujjain city. Samples were collected from 17 locations of Ujjain city from various ground water sources for summer season and analysed for physico-chemical parameters .The results of analysis were compared with the Indian standards (BIS, IS 10500:1991) of drinking water quality parameters. The pH values of all samples indicate with in desirable limit. Turbidity, alkalinity, t...
