Abstract

The present work is aimed at assessing the water quality index (WQI) for the ground water of industrial area. The groundwater samples of all the 8-sampling location were collected and subjected for a comprehensive physicochemical analysis. For calculating the WQI, the following 14 parameters have been considered viz., pH, turbidity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, chlorides, nitrates, sulphates, total dissolved solids, iron, fluoride, alkalinity, total solids, and total dissolved solids. The results analyzed by WQI method the results showed that the ground water quality was poor and unfit for drinking in some of the areas, scoring a water quality index greater than 100. And seasonal variation in quality of ground water was analysed. Based on the analysis and results (WQI values poor), for drinking purpose, it is recommended to use water only after boiling and filtering or by Reverse Osmosis treatment. Also, for the industrial use of water on large scale, as the TDS and hardness values are very high, it is suggested to install electrodialysis treatment plant in GIDC.
