The present work is aimed at assessing the quality of groundwater in
renigunta by water quality index (WQI). For this, groundwater samples were
collected from 12 sampling stations and subjected to physico-chemical analysis
of 16 parameters includepH, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium,
magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulphate, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate and
fluoride, and heavy metals such as iron, copper, chromium and cadmium. From the
analyzed data, water quality index has been calculated. The topographic map
covering renigunta, was obtained from Survey of India (SOI) and sampling
locations have been taken using GPS in order to prepare the contour map showing
distribution of water quality index. The result of the work is presented in the
form of map which gives better understanding of the present water quality
scenario of the study area. - See more at:
