Abstract

Groundwater is a primary source of drinking water in our country but day by day increment of groundwater contamination due to various anthropogenic activities and anthropogenic activities makes the life difficult especially for the rural people. Groundwater is getting contamination rapidly due to various anthropogenic activities as well as some natural sources. In the direction, assessment of water quality analysis is the basic requirement for nurturing human being and its evolution. Water Quality Index (WQI) parameter has been widely used in determining water quality globally. Conventional method used for computing WQI is tedious and takes longer time because it involved processing for larger datasets. The present investigation aims to provide the suitability of groundwater in the specified region using GIS (Geographic Information System) of physiochemical parameters, that are used in drinking purpose, domestic works and household chores. Locations are marked using GPS and the parameters are also used to find out about the WQI (Water Quality Index). The parameters are compared with the BIS (Bureau of India Standards) for checking the suitability of groundwater. This research also focuses on reducing the amount of chromium content in the samples, which is a heavy metal, by using organic materials. The present approach output can be beneficial to the administrators in making decisions on groundwater quality but also gaining inside into the trade of between system benefit and environment requirement.
