Classification of River Water Quality Using Irrigation Indices – A Case Study of River Godavari

Abstract

Rapid industrialization and growth of population put enormous pressure on water resources of the country. Because of inadequate surface water, the demand for ground water has increased. Eighteen ground water samples were collected in monsoon and post monsoon seasons respectively and were analysed for the various parameters like sodium, calcium, magnesium, carbonate and bicarbonate etc. The irrigation indices like sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), permeability index (PI), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), sodium percentage (Na %) were determined to assess the suitability of ground water for irrigation purpose. The water was found to exceed the permissible limits in some of the indices.
