Groundwater Quality Assessment in Selected Talukaof Banaskantha District, Gujarat: A Physicochemical and Microbiological Investigation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the groundwater quality of seven selected Talukain Banaskantha district, Gujarat: Kankarej, Lakhani, Palanpur, Suigam, Tharad, Vadgam, and Vav. Borewell water samples were analyzed for key physicochemical parameters (pH, fluoride, total dissolved solids [TDS], conductivity, turbidity, chloride, total hardness) and microbiological quality (coliform bacteria). The results reveal varying levels of contamination, with some samples exceeding WHO permissible limits. The presence of coliform bacteria in several locations poses a significant health risk. This research underscores the need for routine water quality monitoring and local water treatment solutions.
