  • Abstract:
  • The study presents a comprehensive evaluation of water quality in Ghoda Pachad Dam, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. There are four internationally recognized water quality index (WQI) methods: National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NSFWQI), Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCMEWQI), Oregon Water Quality Index (OWQI), and Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index Method (WAWQI). Analysis conducted for the year 2023-24 indicates a WQI value of 40.77 suggesting unsuitability for drinking purposes according to established criteria. However, variations in index values across locations are attributed to differing physico-chemical characteristics. Despite unsuitability for drinking, the WQI values affirm the water's suitability for purposes like irrigation and aquaculture, ensuring its effective utilization beyond drinking water standards.
