ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY WITH AVAILABLE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN MADARAGALLI VILLAGE, MYSORE TALUK, MYSORE DISTRICT, KARNATAKA, INDIA

Groundwater is a renewable natural resource that is over exploited for drinking as well
as industrial and agriculture purposes all over the world. The quality of the groundwater
depends on its physical, chemical and bacteriological characteristics. The quality of
drinking water is directly related to human health. Samples are collected from bore wells
from different locations such that they are spatially distributed in the study area. The
concentration of all the parameters are within the permissible limits for all the samples
except sample number 3 where the concentration of bicarbonate, magnesium and total
hardness is above the permissible limits. The present study revealed that all the sampled
wells of Madaragalli village are yielding the water that is very hard which may not be
suitable for consumption. The author suggests the people living in the study area to
purify the water before consumption.
