Abstract

The present study aims to investigate ground water quality of Karnal and Kurukshetra districts of Haryana. This study is based upon the empirical and scientific evaluation of under groundwater sample collected from the twenty wells scattered in the study area. In the analysis of collected sample certain parameters are taken into consideration. These samples are collected during post-monsoon season of the 2019. In total 20 samples are collected from 10 different blocks of these districts of Haryana. Physico-chemical parameter pH, TDS, Na+, K+, EC, were determined using the data, SAR, RSC %Na were calculated based on United States Department of Agricultural (USDA) Classification. The results were compared with IS 10500 guidelines. The pH value of these samples ranges from 6.5 to 7.36 and Na+ value of these samples ranges from 2.1 to 24.3 during post monsoon. The study reveals that 60% of the area under study falls in polluted category. The groundwater of Karnal and Kurukshetra districts needs some treatment before consumption. Keywords: Irrigation water quality, %Na, Residual sodium carbonate (RSC), Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), ground water quality, Agricultural water
