1.1 GENERAL
Groundwater is the water present beneath the Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the
fractures of rock formations. It serves as a vital source for drinking water and supports
ecosystems. Groundwater levels can be influenced by factors such as precipitation, human
activities, and geological conditions. Sustainable management is crucial to prevent over-
extraction and contamination, ensuring long-term availability for various uses. Groundwater is a
vital resource, serving as a primary source of drinking water, supporting agriculture, sustaining
ecosystems, and providing resilience during droughts. Its reliability and role in various sectors
highlight the importance of sustainable management to ensure long-term availability and prevent
negative environmental impacts.
Water scarcity is increasing worldwide and pressure on the existing water resource is also increasing
due to growing water demand of different sectors. Such as domestic, agricultural and industry, etc.
Therefore valuation of water quality is important research topic in recent years. Water quality index is
one of the most effective tools to communicate information on quality of water to the concern citizen
and policy maker.
The lake that were once resource of water for irrigation, drinking, fishing etc. we now used as a
dumping site for industrial effluents, domestic sewage, domestic solid water etc. Development of
human communities and increasing irresponsible use of water and qualities. Population growth and
pollution caused by toxic waste water, surface water runoff from municipal, industrial and agricultural
sources have increased pollution load and further limited healthy water resources.
Contaminated groundwater can pose severe health implications. Consuming water tainted with
pollutants, pathogens, or chemicals may lead to waterborne diseases, gastrointestinal issues, and
long-term health problems. Exposure to certain contaminants, like heavy metals or industrial
