Overall Analysis of Groundwater Samples for Drinking Quality in Eight Districts of the Malwa Region of Punjab
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents the groundwater quality of Malwa region of Punjab. 240 Villages from the eight districts were selected for the study and compared. The parameters studied were PH, total alkalinity, total hardness, turbidity, total dissolved solids, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, Sulphate, nitrate, chloride, , iron, lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, zinc, mercury sand specific conductance or conductivity. From overall analysis, it was found that there was a variation in the physico-chemical parameters among the groundwater samples studied from the eight districts i. e. Bathinda, Muktsar, Ferozpur, Faridkot, Mansa, Moga, Barnala and Sangrur. Comparison of the physico-chemical parameters of the water samples with BIS limits showed that the groundwater is highly contaminated and not fit for human consumption and domestic applications.
