Achieving water security and availability for all is the main agenda of the UN-Sustainable Development Goals by the year 2030. To achieve the goal of water secure future in rapidly urbanizing cities, the sustainable water supplies are necessary. In the western part of India, the city of Surat is continuously growing and rapidly urbanized, which exerting massive pressure on groundwater water supply to meet increasing water demands. The study adopted the investigative approach, in which a total 33 groundwater samples were collected in and around the city from open, bore and dug wells and hand pumps. The selection of sampling sites was based on the land use signature, areas with a different depth of aquifers and different geological formations. After the hydrogeochemical analysis, the study evaluated the present state of the groundwater quality and determined the spatial distribution of groundwater quality parameters such as hardness, electrical conductivity, Cl −, pH, SO 4 2-, and NO 3 − concentrations. An interpolation technique, known as ordinary kriging, was used to acquire the spatial distribution of parameters of groundwater quality parameters. The result showed that the groundwater quality falls under class I (>25%) and class II (25 to75%) category. The study recommends that the groundwater in the study area is not suitable for potable purposes, especially without any improved onsite water treatment facilities but it is appropriate for the irrigation purposes in City.

“…However, in recent years urban activities have grown in these areas. Examples include New Delhi, which launched India's first city-level climate change agenda covering the years of 2009-2012, Hyderabad's sustainable transportation strategy and waste management initiatives in Kolkata, Mumbai and Surat (Sharma and Tomar 2010;Gouldson et al 2014;Kapshe et al 2013;Puppim de Oliveira 2013;Puppim de Oliveira et al 2013a;Bulkeley and Caston 2013).…”

“…Kapshe et al (2013) demonstrated how energy generation in four WWTPs in India can utilize the methane recovery through anaerobic digestion to produce 1.5 to 2.5 million kWh electricity for captive use every year. Energy captured in organics entering the plant can be related to the chemical oxygen demand load of the influent flow.…”
