Applications of Geospatial Technology and Water Quality Index in The Assessment of Groundwater Quality

Abstract

Abstract Groundwater is one of the naturally occurring resources, which is valuable and essential for water supply to the nations. To come across the demand rate it is pivotal to recognize the water resources. Groundwater Quality has direct implication for domestic industrial and drinking purpose. The Water Quality Index is the most productive to collaborate the information of water quality. The objective of the research work is to assess and prepare the spatial distribution maps of groundwater quality of Nandyal Mandal by using geographical information system techniques. This research work is deliberated to evaluate the Water Quality Index of the project area. The Water Quality Index of the study explains overall quality of certain locations based on several physico-chemical parameters with the help of spatial distribution of geographic information system applications. Water samples were collected and tested for several physico-chemical parameters like pH, TDS, Chlorides, Total alkalinity, Total Hardness, Electro Conductivity and Dissolved oxygen.
