Assessment of Quality of Ground Water in Sonipat District of Haryana

Abstract

The present study is the water quality analysis of Sonipat District of Haryana and their surrounding areas which includes tests for various physico-chemical parameters like Temperature, pH value, Total solids, Total suspended solids, Total dissolved solids and Total fixed solids, Total volatile solids, Total hardness, Alkalinity, Water quality index and Correlation coefficient matrix. A water quality standard is a rule or law comprised of the uses to be made of a water body or segment and the water quality criteria necessary to protect that uses. In our study 20 samples were collected from Sonipt district and their surrounding areas. Out of 20 samples 10 samples found within permissible limit, 10 samples found out of permissible limit set by WHO, BIS, IS 10500. The water is badly affected may be due to disposal of industrial wastes into ground, open land areas and water bodies. In the light of this analysis we can conclude that these water samples require some treatment before their use for drinking purpose. Such poor quality of water reasoned severe waterborne diseases like diarrhea, cholera etc.
