Abstract
The water quality index (WQI) is a numerical representation of total water quality that qualifies it for usage in residential, irrigation, industry, and other applications. The present investigation involves the statistical validation and then determining the WQI of the Banas River, which is located in Rajasthan’s eastern south region and is an important source of water supply via the Bisalpur Dam. The main objective of this study is to assess the data provided by CPCB in this way we analyzed the various physicochemical characteristics like pH, electrical conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Dissolve Oxygen (DO), Fluoride, Sulphate, and Total Hardness in pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon data for the year 2018–2021, then calculate the WQI of those data. The result of Pre-monsoon WQI was 64.84, indicating an Indian water quality index grading C, whereas post-monsoon WQI was 57.10, which was closer to an Indian water quality index grading B. During the monsoon, the WQI was 61.52. It can be inferred from the abovementioned finding that the water quality improves after the monsoon.
