“…In light of this, numerous methodologies and models were developed in recent years to analyse the characteristics as well as the drinking, industrial and agricultural tness of groundwater (Subba Rao and Chaudhary, 2019). The developed methodologies have used different indices i.e., water quality index (Solangi et al, 2019;Akoteyon et al, 2018), SPI (Hui et al, 2021;Krishan et al, 2022) scaling and corrosivity indices (Egburuy et al, 2021; Mirzabeygi et al, 2016), hydrogeochemical and chemometric models (Singh et al, 2021 and application of GIS based geospatial techniques (Gantait et al, 2022). To illustrate the relationship between several water quality measures for drinking water assessment, multiple researchers have carried out experiments (Solangi et al, 2019).…”

Due to environmental pollution, climate change and anthropogenic activities, the judicious use and quality of groundwater for industrial, agricultural, and drinking purposes had garnered a lot of attention. In order to access the seasonal suitability of groundwater on the basis of hydrochemistry and different indices, 196 groundwater samples were collected and analysed for different physicochemical parameters. The results revealed that only 1.02 percent of water samples from pre and post monsoon season exceeded the permissible limits of WHO and BIS guidelines for suitability of drinking water. The TDS content was also within the permissible limits with mean value of 523.7 and 565.6 mg/L for pre and post monsoon seasons, respectively. The concentration of Ca2+, Mg2+ were within the permissible limits whereas chloride content (29.1% and 15.3% during pre and post monsoon period, respectively) exceeds the permissible limits. The sulphate ion concentration (mean value of 0.46 meq L-1) also ranged between the permissible limits. Based upon water quality index (WQI), none of the water sample was unfit for drinking purpose whereas synthetic pollution index (SPI) categorized all the samples as moderately polluted during both the seasons. For industrial purpose suitability, the various indices i.e., LSI (39.8 and 30.6 % have high corrosive tendency during pre and post monsoon, respectively), CSMR (98.4 and 100 % have tendency for galvanic corrosion during pre and post monsoon, respectively) and aggressive index (49.5% were severely corrosive during pre-monsoon period) showed quite variable results. Moreover, only 1.0 per cent of the total water samples seem to be strongly affected by salinization during pre-monsoon period.

“…The WQI values have been classified into five categories of suitability of water for drinking purpose (Table 2) as per the scheme adopted by Gantait et al (2022). Out of the 12, 7 parameters -FC, EC, F, Hardness, TDS, Alkalinity and Fe -were selected for further analysis identified on the basis of exceeding levels and highly prevalent diseases.…”

“…Rajasthan is India's largest state by area, and has a significant groundwater reliant population due to a general lack of surface water accessibility (Coyte et al, 2019). Water scarcity in Rajasthan is found naturally due to very low rainfall, very few rainy days and high aridity (Gantait et al, 2022).…”

“…Classification for groundwater for drinking purpose based on WQI (AfterGantait et al, 2022) Prevalence of water borne diseases has been investigated through schedule based survey of 346 households of the same villages from which water samples had been collected. The reported diseases have been categorised into 08 broad types based on possible causative bio-geochemical composition of drinking water and impact of water quality on health has been quantified in terms of number of types of diseases prevalent in the village.…”

Abstract. Dungarpur, one of the most backward districts of India, is a predominantly tribal region of Rajasthan state. Ground water is the major source of drinking water in the region. High concentrations of Fluoride (F) and Iron (Fe) have been reported in the region which poses high risk of rampant water-borne diseases. This study evaluates the ground water quality for drinking purpose in terms of 10 hydro-geochemical and two biological parameters in context of causative factors like land use and geology of the region. The occurrence of water borne diseases in resident population has been examined in association with quality of drinking water and priority areas for policy intervention have been identified. Water samples have been collected from 173 drinking water sources and 346 households consuming water from the selected sources have been surveyed for prevalence of water borne diseases. Water quality surfaces have been mapped in terms of F, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Hardness, Fe, alkalinity, Faecal Coliform (FC), E. Coli, and Water Quality Index (WQI) computed on the basis of 10 geochemical parameters, using Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method. Results reveal that the north-eastern part comprising Aspur, Sabla and part of Sagwara tehsils predominantly has ‘very poor’ to ‘unsuitable’ water quality. The western part has excessive faecal contamination. Entire district has high levels of TDS and hardness, while excessive Fe and F occur in specific regions. Disease incidence closely corresponds to the geochemical and microbial composition of water. Higher values of WQI correspond with occurrence of Phyllites and Mica Schists.
