  • Physicochemical Assessment and Water Quality of Surface Water in Chandel and Tengnoupal Districts, Manipur for Domestic and Irrigational Uses
    International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 08 Issue: 01 | Jan 2021 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 Physicochemical Assessment and Water Quality of Surface Water in Chandel and Tengnoupal Districts, Manipur for Domestic and Irrigational Uses Herojit Nongmaithem*1, Maibam Pradipkanta Singh2 & Sujata Sougrakpam3 1-3Geological Survey of India, SU: MN, Imphal office, Imphal, 795004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract: The study aims to validate the water quality for domestic and irrigational uses based on the physico chemical properties of the surface waters in parts of Chandel and Tengnoupal districts of Manipur. The sources of the dissolved constituents in the samples suggest Mg-Ca-HCO3-Cl as the dominant hydro-facies and are magnesium bicarbonate water types. The dominant geochemical process that governs the water chemistry is rock weathering dominance. WQI of the water samples ranges from 76.18 to 155.33 and is well within the limits of the BIS and WHO guidelines for drinking water. All the samples are suitable for irrigational uses based on the determined values of EC, TDS, SSP and SAR. Hence, these perennial rivers and streams hold the potential to provide uninterrupted supply of drinking and irrigational water to Chandel, Tengnoupal, Kakching and Thoubal districts of Manipur without any major treatment. Keywords: Physico-chemical, hydrochemical facies, Water Quality, Manipur 1. Introduction Urbanisation catalyst the human dependency on the water consumption either for domestic or irrigational uses. Rivers and streams show spatial heterogeneity in the physico-chemical indices which enable to categorize the water for different uses or to detect toxicity.
