Abstract
Groundwater is a natural resource and plays a vital role in our life. The study was carried out to access the groundwater quality of Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh. The assessment study was formulated in WQI to understand more about groundwater quality in a single term. Water Quality Index (WQI) summarizes numerical equations in a single term to understand better the quality of water. It is also helpful in determining the valuable rating of water quality and appropriate technique for its treatment. It also communicates information about water quality to the public and legislative decision-makers. In the present study, groundwater samples were collected from different locations, and WQI has been computed using seven parameters viz., pH, Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Electrical Conductivity, Calcium, Magnesium and Chloride. The result shows that WQI for all the locations were higher than 100 and in some locations, it was more than 200, which means the water quality is extremely poor and not drinkable.
