Abstract

Application of water quality index method to assess ground water quality in Muktainagar Taluka, District-Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India

Author(s): Tiwari M. Y.

The study area under investigation, Muktainagar is located towards eastern part of Jalgaon district in Maharashtra state. The area is lying between 21°03’08” North latitude 76°03’18”East longitudes. In India the water availability, quality and quantity differs. To study the hydrochemical nature of the water used for drinking purpose, a collective 51 samples of ground water were collected during pre monsoon 2012 and post monsoon 2013. Analytical reports were compared with World Health Organization. The qualities of ground water were found to be deteriorated predominantly due to overexploitation and anthropogenic activities. Geochemistry of ground water shows Ca2+> Mg2+> Na+> K+ and HCO32-> Cl- > SO42->CO32- trend. Most of the ground water samples were observed as Ca2+ -Mg2+ - Cl- type .
