| Abstract: | Safe and potable drinking water is a common necessity for all, hence the quality of water must be assessed regularly. Particularly in rural areas assessment of water quality is often neglected. In rural areas, groundwater is the main source of drinking water, and activities like Bathing, Washing, and Agricultural runoff in the near vicinity of groundwater sources can cause water pollution through the percolation of chemicals into groundwater. There is a need to assess the water quality of rural areas intermittently so that preventive measures can be taken to minimize pollution. In the present study, the quality of groundwater in Gondpipri tehsil of Chandrapur district, Maharashtra is assessed using Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI). 27 different groundwater sources were identified from six different villages and all these samples were analyzed for parameters like pH, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, and Chloride ion concentration from February to July. After obtaining values of these parameters for all samples, WAWQI was calculated for each water source and compared with reference standards for each parameter according to IS, WHO, and CPCB. The whole study indicated that 22.22% of water sources were found to be of Excellent quality and 44.44% of sources were found to be of Good quality. Principle factors responsible for low water quality were Total Hardness, Alkalinity, and Turbidity, but as these factors can be either removed or minimized by using appropriate methods the quality of groundwater in this region can be corrected. This study emphasizes the fact that more such studies are needed for assessing the water quality of different regions. |
