The present study intended to
determine groundwater quality index using arithmetic weight methods
in order to establish groundwater quality assessment in and around
Northeastern part of Y.S.R district. The calculation of WQI for
various parameters like pH, EC, TDS, TH, major cations and anions.
Most of the groundwater samples are exceeding the permissible limits
with respect to pH, EC, TDS, TH and fluoride. Calculated WQI values
range from 162 to 568. This classification reveals that 8 % of the
groundwater samples fall into Class C: poor water, another 40 %fall
in Class D: Very poor and 56 % fall in Class E: Unsuitable for
drinking category. From this study it is clear that groundwater
quality is very poor and proper monitoring and management techniques
are needed to maintain and improve water quality standards and
health of local community. |
