Analysis of Underground Water of Girna River belt from Chalisgaon Tehsil in Jalgaon district, Maharashtra Using Physicochemical Parameters

Abstract

Water is the most important component of the ecosystem and essential for life on earth. All living organism depends on water for their growth and existence. The water has to be in a pure form otherwise it directly influences the ecosystem. With the increase in pollution, population, and practicing heavy doses of fertilizers in agriculture, many times natural water is perceived in contaminated form. Therefore, it is essential to analyze water which directly utilized for drinking and agriculture applications at regular time intervals. This work deals with the physicochemical analysis of underground water collected from selected eight villages from the Girna river belt of Chalisgaon Tehsil in Jalgaon District, Maharashtra. The evaluation of water quality was carried out in the summer season for the period of 1st Feb. to 31st May 2022. These samples were analyzed for 11 parameters like Temperature, PH, EC, TDS, COD, BOD, Total Hardness, Alkalinity, Cl-, PO43-, and SO42- were determined. The physicochemical characteristic parametric values equate with BIS and WHO standard limits.
