Abstract:This study used the groundwater quality index (GWQI) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to examine groundwater quality in the western coastal region of Sri Lanka. The spatial and temporal variation of 18 groundwater samples' physiochemical parameters [pH, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl−), and bicarbonate (HCO3−)] were studied. According to the WHO and SLS, 11% of samples had EC l… Show more
