Abstract

Abundant surface evidences of geothermal hot springs are located in the Gujarat state in India. The present study tries to assess the geothermal spring water’s excellence within the rural area of Tulsishyam in Gujarat. The water is analyzed to recognize its quality for the appropriateness of utilization in domestic and agricultural purposes. Water samples were taken and tested for a variety of geochemical parameters, including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, cations and anions, and so on. The research area's water is neutral to slightly alkaline in pH. Cationic Ternary diagrams indicate that the waters are mature in nature and dominant in Na ion concentration. Anionic Ternary plots show Cl ion dominance as rock and water has been equilibrated due to high residence time. Gibbs plot indicate that all the samples falls in rock dominance. The Wilcox charts indicate excellent water category due to low electrical conductivity of the samples. Groundwater in the study region can be determined to be suitable for household and agricultural use based on a variety of water quality indices.
