Abstract
The study reports the assessment of water quality index (WQI) for groundwater of Yamunanagar city. Water quality index is a unique combination of equations that predict the water quality in a single term. Furthermore, it is a valuable rating technique for determining the water quality and it helps in selection of appropriate water treatment technique. It can also be used for communicating information about water quality to public and legislative decision makers. WQI helps in representation of overall water quality and abatement of programs for water quality management. In this study, assessment of WQI for groundwater quality was determined based on various physiochemical parameters like pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, chloride, alkalinity, and dissolved oxygen. The WQI for groundwater of various locations of Yamunanagar was higher than 100 (unsafe) except one location.
