Analysis of Ground Water Quality in Amroha District Of Uttar Pradesh In India

Abstract

The present study carried out with the aim of understanding the groundwater quality and its suitability for domestic and irrigation purpose. The quality of water is vital concern for mankind since it is directly linked with human health. Groundwater is highly valued because it constitutes the major drinking and irrigation water source in most of the parts of India. Water quality index for underground drinking water at Amroha for fifty-four different sites among 6 blocks has been calculated with the help of estimated values of water quality physico-chemical parameters and W.H.O. water quality standards. Underground drinking water at eight sites is found to be severely polluted. Only Mohammadpur, Khedka, and Bachhraon have drinking water with a Water Quality Index (WQI) range between 26 and 50 while remaining underground drinking water is poor or very poor for human consumption. Individuals reliant on this water are likely confronting health risks associated with contaminated drinking water, necessitating immediate water quality management in the study's catchment area
