Water Quality Assessment using different Indices for Irrigation Purpose at Wardha District

Abstract

With the help of multiple indices (SAR, LI, RI, SSP, and RSC) for irrigation, the current study set out to determine the level of groundwater pollution in the Wardha region. The research involved 15 villages in the Wardha District, five from each of Wardha, Seloo, and Hinganghat. Over the course of two years, 90 samples were taken from fifteen groundwater structures. 13 physicochemical factors and 5 indices were evaluated using analysis. The study discovered that the groundwater sources in each of the 15 villages in the Wardha District are contaminated, making the water unfit for human consumption and necessitating some sort of filtration before usage for domestic or agricultural purposes. The findings of Langlier that practically all groundwater samples exhibit factors that cause scaling are supported by the Ryznar index values, which range from 5 to 7. SAR data indicates that around 60% of the groundwater being examined had low levels (10.0).
