Abstract

The suitability of groundwater for irrigation is reliant upon the effect of different component dissolved in groundwater. The standard limits of the different components (major cations and anions, trace elements) within groundwater for irrigation vary locally. A baseline study involving analysis of five groundwater quality monitoring wells in the North-Western zone of Bangladesh was carried out in order to evaluate their suitability for agricultural purposes. From these monitoring different parameters of groundwater from 1973 to 1996 were found. In addition, groundwater quality data of different depth of 20 Deep Tube wells within the study area are also collected to know the existing condition of groundwater quality. Water samples from the wells are accumulated and scrutinized for pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Na<SUP>+</SUP>, K<SUP>+</SUP>, Ca<SUP>2+</SUP>, Mg<SUP>2+</SUP>, HCO<SUB>3</SUB><SUP>-</SUP>, Cl<SUP>-</SUP>, SO4<SUP>2-</SUP> and Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR).
