Hydrogeochemical assessment of groundwater in shallow aquifer of greater Noida region, Uttar Pradesh (U.P), India

Abstract

Fresh water is needed for the survival of all living organisms to keep them healthy, safe and clean. Major part of this fresh water is obtained from groundwater. It is observed that the groundwater has been polluting due to anthropogenic activities and affecting the human beings, livestock soil nutrients by mass and environment in certain areas. The paper presents hydrogeochemical assessment of groundwater in shallow aquifers of Greater Noida region. Therefore, various physicochemical parameters such as pH, TDS, EC, TH and major ions, i.

Determination of Physio-Chemical Parameters and Water Quality Index (Wqi) of Kundapura Taluk, Udupi District, Karnataka, India

“…The chemical character of any ground water determines its quality and utilization. Globally, the major demand for fresh water is preferably fulfilled through the extraction of surface water from water bodies, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Water used for irrigation can vary greatly in quality depending upon the type and quantity of dissolved salts in their respective region.…”

“…Water used for irrigation can vary greatly in quality depending upon the type and quantity of dissolved salts in their respective region. On these bases, the various technical research papers on the assessment of ground water quality for lakes, beaches, industrial areas, near rivers, residential colonies and different areas have been presented at a research level [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. All the parameters for drinking water analyzed were found to be within the permissible limit except for the chloride content in Suvarna river water samples.…”
