Abstract

Water Quality Index has been applying in the present study to assess suitability of groundwater quality for drinking purposes in Ratmao –Pathri Rao Watershed, Haridwar District, India. This was carried out by subjecting twenty one groundwater samples, collected from eleven selected site, to comprehensive physico-chemical analysis. Nine parameters have been considered for calculating the WQI such as: pH, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, and total dissolved solids. The computed WQI shows that 48% of water sample falls in excellent categories and 48% falls in the good water category. On the other hand one site located at Teliwala village which represent 4% falls in very poor categories. Such waters are not suitable for drinking purposes under normal condition and further action for salinity control is required. The high value of WQI at this site has been found to be mainly due to the higher values of TDS, Ca +2 , K + , Cl , Hco3 , No3 2and So4 2where it was found that there is a very high correlation coefficient between them

应用水质指数评价印度Haridwar地区Ratmao -Pathri Rao流域地下水水质饮用适宜性

在本研究中，水质指数被用于评价印度哈里瓦尔地区Ratmao -Pathri Rao流域地下水水质是否适合饮用。这是通过对从11个选定地点收集的21个地下水样本进行综合物理化学分析来进行的。计算WQI时考虑了9个参数，如:pH值、总硬度、钙、镁、碳酸氢盐、氯化物、硝酸盐、硫酸盐和总溶解固体。计算得到的水质质量指数表明，48%的水样属于优良水样，48%的水样属于优良水样。另一方面，位于Teliwala村的一个遗址占4%，属于非常贫困的类别。这些水在正常情况下不适合饮用，需要采取进一步的措施控制盐度。WQI在这个位置的高值主要是由于TDS、Ca +2、K +、Cl、Hco3、no32和So4 2的值较高，并且发现它们之间有很高的相关系数
