The region mostly consists of sandy clay soil. It has two medium irrigation schemes Suvi and Fatehgadh of the 20 medium irrigation schemes of Kutch region. There are number of observation wells and piezometers in the taluka for which the pre-monsoon and post monsoon water levels have been recorded. Monitoring has been done to check the quality of ground water for pre-monsoon and post- monsoon data. Through this paper it is attempted to study the effect of the ground water table fluctuations on the quality of ground water for Rapar taluka.
