Abstract
Water is source of living world. Aridity in the State of Rajasthan including Jodhpur district has caused not only scarcity of water resources but also adversely affected quality of precious groundwater assets. In view of acute water crisis, water resources studies (especially hydro-geochemical investigations causing health hazards) were carried out in different block of Jodhpur district for identifying various water related issues and to explore management options thereof. A total of 30 wells were identified as monitoring stations and water samples were collected and analysed for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness, total alkalinity, fluoride (F-), chlorides (Cl-), and nitrates (NO3-). In present study we found that groundwater of this district contains high concentrations of anions in surface and groundwater collected from these villages.
