While groundwater is a critical supply of water for residential and agricultural activities in and around the Devarakonda region due to a scarcity of surface water resources, the quality of groundwater and its suitability for drinking and cultivation were assessed. Based on the analytical results, physical and chemical parameters of groundwater such as pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), TH, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3-, CO3-, and SO42-, as well as chemical index such as Percentage of Sodium (percent Na), Kelley's Ratio, Gibb's, and Permeability index were calculated. In a few situations, high total hardness and TDS indicate that groundwater is unfit for drinking and irrigation. Such locations require extra attention to provide appropriate drainage and the introduction of salt-tolerant agriculture.
