Abstract
About one-third of the earth’s land surface is facing challenge of water scarcity in both quantitative and qualitative terms (Postel SL, Last oasis: facing water scarcity, 2nd edn. W.W. Norton, New York, 1997). In the last few decades, the global finding of the presence of elevated concentrations of various toxic solutes from natural and anthropogenic sources has limited the available volume of safe drinking water. Understanding the aquifer hydraulic properties and hydrochemical characteristics of water is crucial for proper planning, management and sustainable utilization of groundwater. Generally, the motion of groundwater along its flow paths below the ground surface increases the concentration of the chemical species; hence the groundwater chemistry could reveal important information on the geological history of the aquifers and the suitability of groundwater for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes (Kortatsi BK, Aquat Geochem 13(1):41–74, 2007).
