Characterizing Monsoonal Variation on Water Quality Index of River Mahi in India using Geographical Information System

Abstract: River water quality has gained significance as river water is being contaminated due to various human activities and it needs attention to ensure sustainable safe use. Geographical Information System (GIS) and Water Quality Index (WQI), which synthesize different available water quality data into an easily understood format, provide a way to summarize overall water quality conditions in a manner that can be clearly communicated to policy makers. Physicochemical analysis data of various water samples collected … Show more

“…In addition, as the current calendar-based method is proposed to visualize the water quality change and make the interpretation of water condition intuitive, the proposed method can also be applied to the water resources community so as to evaluate how effective it is in communicating water quality with the public. Social surveys could be conducted to compare our method with other communicating methods, such as statistical charts [14,17], heat maps [20], dynamic maps [22,24], and information graphs [36], from the aesthetics, efficiency, and accuracy aspects.…”

“…Many studies have proved the use of EO data namely groundwater [27,46,48,51,52], river water quality [55], coastal water [22], lake and wetlands [5,47,53,59,60], land use/land cover mapping [45,46,48,50,51], land use change trajectories [56], land use/land cover modeling [28,49], urban land use dynamics [4], hydrological modeling [31], forest mapping [44], cyclone tracking [16], soil characterization [37], climate change [54], slope estimation [57], landscape ecology [47,53], ocean studies [35,36] and watershed management [67], watershed prioritization [68]. GIS processing has become a critical step in hydrologic modeling since it contributes to generate model parameters in a spatially distributed manner.…”

“…The clustering methods have been widely used in the water quality studies. For example: 1) clustering for chemical classification of water in Salado River [13]; 2) Hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis for delineating and grouping pollution causing areas [14]; and 3) Fuzzy clustering of water quality parameters for Ulansuhai Lake [15]. In addition to classification of water quality, it is also important to understand the impact of causative factors on the surface water quality of rivers in Alberta.…”
