A of total thirty-three samples were collected and analyzed for major ion chemistry of the groundwater quality and its suitability for drinking as well as irrigation purposes. The pH ranges from 6.3-8.1 and 6.1-7.9 indicating the water are slightly acidic to alkaline. TDS ranges from 262-2780 mg/l and 188-2065 mg/l during pre and post monsoon season. Total Hardness (TH) ranges from 107-1065 mg/l and 113-699 mg/l; Chloride ranges from 7-699 mg/l and 8-944 mg/l; sulphate ranges from 0.4-420 mg/l and 1-170 mg/l during pre and post season respectively. The majority of the samples are suitable for domestic purposes due to low to medium hardness, however few samples are described as very hard and unsuitable for domestic, drinking and irrigation purposes. Various indices like Salinity Index, Sodium Absorption ratio (SAR), Kelly’s ratio (KR), Permeability Index (PI) and Water Quality Index (WQI) are used to classify groundwater and surface water for drinking as well as irrigation purposes. Besides this, Piper, Wilcox, and Gibb’s plots were studied for geochemical controls and Hydrogeochemistry of groundwater.
