Monitoring of pre- and post-monsoon groundwater quality of north-eastern Haryana region using GIS

ABSTRACT The present paper is the result of an investigation carried out to analyse the quality of sub-surface water in the districts of Yamunanagar and Ambala of the province of Haryana in India. The investigation was necessitated as the area combines the presence of industrial, commercial and residential units close to each other. A total of 30 groundwater samples were taken each during the months of April and September of 2017 and were appraised for analytical parameters, hydro-geochemical constituents and metal ions. Eight locations were observed to have an abnormal presence of only one element and were, therefore, classified to be falling in the ‘Grey-Zone’. Matedi Bus Stand (Sample number – 23) was found to be adversely influenced by the presence of the most of chemical elements and thus was categorized as the ‘Red Zone’. For the combined data of post-monsoon and pre-monsoon periods of 2017, the spatial distribution of pH, TDS, TA and TH showed that 100%, 90%, 91.67% and 93.33% of samples, respectively, fall under allowable limits of groundwater quality. Spatial distribution of hydro-chemical elements and metal ions showed that 96.11% of samples for cations, 98.33% for anions and 93.33% for Fe are in the ‘allowable’ category of groundwater. A comparison of laboratory results with the GIS maps prepared during the study has been found to be in good agreement. The classification of samples pursuance to their hydro-chemical facies indicated that most of the samples fall in Ca2+–Mg2+– –Cl− and Na+– –Cl− type. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
