Ground Water Quality

The ground water is in general alkaline in nature with pH values varying

between 7 and 7.8. The Electrical Conductivity (EC) values are mostly below

2000 micro Siemens/cm at 25 C. Chloride content is mostly below 250 ppm,

Nitrate values are above 45 ppm but below 100 ppm, (ranging upto 118 ppm) in

50% of the samples. Carbonate is absent in all the water samples collected.

Fluoride is within the permissible limit of 1.5mg/l, the permissible limit for drinking

water standards. Magnesium is also within the permissible limit of 100 ppm.

Thus, the ground water of the district in general is suitable for drinking

purposes. Since, water is moderate hard to hard, needs to be softened before

using for domestic purposes.

From Agriculture point of view, ground water of the district from shallow

aquifers mostly falls under C2 S1 and C3S1 classes with medium to high EC and

low Sodium alkaline hazards as per U.S. Salinity classification for waters used for

Irrigation purposes.
