Analysis of Groundwater Quality Parameters in Selected Villages of Arvi Region of Wardha District, Maharashtra

Water is extremely essential for survival of all living organisms. Groundwater is one of the most useful water sources for drinking and domestic uses. Contamination of such water sources is a big problem for health. Ten groundwater samples were collected from ten different villages from Arvi region of Wardha District of Maharashtra. The physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolve solid (TDS), total alkalinity, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate and nitrate were analyzed and the results were compared with water quality standards prescribed by ISI and WHO.
