Abstract
Groundwater plays a vital role as an important source of drinking water and irrigation. Usage of surface water such as rivers, lakes and others have not met the standards for safe drinking water and irrigation due to the amount of domestic waste produced by the people who dump it into water surface. Therefore, studies were performed to assess the levels of some physical and chemical water quality. Quality assessment of groundwater for irrigation purpose was evaluated in and around Hyderabad district of Telangana State, India. The study has been carried out in 10 locations of Hyderabad dist during 2018-2019 by collecting 10 ground water samples. Thirteen parameters were chosen for the analysis such as pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total dissolved solids, Sodium, Potassium, Total hardness, Turbidity, Chlorides, Bicarbonates, Carbonates, Sulphates, Nitrates and Fluorides. The analysis results were compared with water quality standards of BIS. From this study, it was observed that Nitrates concentration is higher 128.88mg/l at sanjeevareddy nagar, 259.10mg/l at kulsanpura, 68.65mg/l at chandraingutta, 69.09mgl at A.P.Secretariat, 145.71mg/l at maredpally, 104.08mg/l at juvinile home, 68.65mg/l at darlshifa and Fluorides content were higher 2.86mg/l at sanjeevareddy nagar, 2.88mg/l at humayanagar, 1.94mg/l at kulsanpura, 4.74mg/l at chandraingutta, 1.54mg/l at A.P.Secretariat while other parameters were within the permissible limits of BIS. The groundwater samples which are below the permissible level can be used for irrigation purpose.
