  • Abstract:
  • In the administration of water assets, quality of water is as important as its amount. Disintegration of groundwater quality due to the anthropogenic exercises is expanding at a disturbing rate in many parts of Nalgonda. Yet the information related to the groundwater quality and other physiochemical parameters is still limited. This report features the analysis of groundwater quality and its suitability for drinking purposes in the study area. With a specific end goal to know the quality and appropriateness of groundwater for local and water system in study area, water samples from 60 different locations were collected and tested for various parameters. These samples were analyzed for significant pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, carbonate, sulfate, chloride, nitrate, fluoride and various other physicochemical parameters. From the aforementioned results, it can be clarified that most of water quality variables exceeded the limits specified by the standards for drinking water. The results of this study will be helpful in designing an effective strategy to utilize the ground water for drinking purpose.
