Analysis of Water Quality Parameters of Ground Water in Walkheda Village in Dhule District of Maharashtra, India

Ground water are important sources of
drinking water for many communities, especially inrural
areas. However, the quality of this water can be
impacted by various factors such as natural geological
processes, human activities and environment pollution.
Therefore, regularanalysis of ground water is necessary
to ensure its safety and suitability for human
consumption. This paper presents a comprehensive
review of the methods and techniques used for ground
water analysis. The review covers the different
parameters that are analysedsuch as pH, total dissolved
solids, electrical conductivity, total hardness, chlorides,
calcium, magnesium, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity,
sodium, potassium and various types of contaminants
such as heavy metals, pesticides and organic compounds.
Additionally, the paper highlights the significance of
water quality on public health and the environment. The
observed values of these parameters were compared with
the standards given by WHO andISI. It was found from

the present study that there is variation in many physio-
chemical parameters. Some of the samples were found

within the permissible limits of the given standards while
some samples are beyond the acceptable values of the
standard, indicating that for such samples there is poor
potability might be due to contaminations from sewage
and other water-soluble pollutants. Hence there need for
proper conservation and management of ground water
resources, conducting campaign on health awareness
and importance water purification among the peoples in
such study area before utilizing such poor-quality water
for drinking purpose. Overall, this paper highlights the
importance of ground water analysis for ensuring the
safety and suitability of water for human consumption
and suggests that regular testing and treatment can go
long way in preventing waterborne illness and
environmental pollution.
