Assessment of ground water quality using water quality index and GIS
No TL;DR found
Abstract
Ground water demand in India has significantly increased as a result of the country's fast population development, industrialization, and urbanization. Using a water quality index, or WQI helpful numerical instrument for deriving complex information from any water body and for reporting and analyzing it. WQI is essentially a mathematical method for calculating a single value from a set of test results. Any WQI model can explain the degree of water contamination with a single number, depending on several of water quality indicators at a particular place and time. In this work, an effort has been made to understand whether ground water is fit for human consumption. The study area included various residential and industrial areas that do get their water from groundwater resources. This study evaluates When compared to WHO drinking and residential water quality criteria (WQI), the physical, chemical, and biological properties of various groundwater samples taken from various sites are examined. The spatial evaluation of several groundwater quality parameters in this investigation has been done using the GIS approach. The study's goal is to determine the WQI of ground water determine if it is fit for human consumption in the study area using the GIS technique.
