Groundwater is a vital resource that provides drinking water for millions of people worldwide and is used in irrigation, agriculture, and industrial processes. Its quality is crucial for human health and the environment [1, 2]. Geology, soil type, and human activities in the watershed all affect the physicochemical properties of groundwater. These factors can influence the concentration of dissolved solids, pH, and the presence of contaminants. Key physicochemical parameters of groundwater include total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, turbidity, hardness, chloride, nitrate, and arsenic [2, 3, 4]. High TDS levels can make water taste salty or brackish, which can have adverse health effects. pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Turbidity is cloudiness or haziness, while hardness measures the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in groundwater. Chloride levels can make water taste salty and indicate pollution. Nitrate, a form of nitrogen found in groundwater, can cause serious health problems, including methemoglobinemia, or "blue baby syndrome." Arsenic, a naturally occurring element, can cause cancer, skin diseases, and neurological problems [5].
