Correlation Study for the Assessment of Groundwater Quality of Sanganer Tehsil, Jaipur City, Rajasthan

Abstract

Abstract The current study was conducted to assess the quality of groundwater of Sanganer Tehsil of Jaipur City (Rajasthan), India. For the study, samples from 46 villages/area were collected from publically used hand pumps and bore wells. Correlations between physicochemical parameters were also investigated. The samples underwent bacteriological examination as well as physiochemical analysis of parameters which included Chlorides, Fluorides, Nitrates and Totally Dissolved Solids. When compared to the permissible limit of Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) norms for potable water, the results showed that the water of many villages was not potable. The water quality of many villages failed the guidelines for bacteriological quality and required treatment to be used as drinking water.
