Abstract:

The present work is aimed as assessing the water quality for the ground water of khambhat taluka .This has been determined by collecting ground water samples and subjecting the samples to a comprehensive physiochemical analysis.Khambhat taluka is situated near the bay of khambhat in ,Gujarat.Some ground water parameters pH, TDS,chlorides,hardness and electrical conductivity(E.C.) suggested and essentially responsible for water quality for each sampled location was determined by imparting the relative and proportionate weightage to the involved parameters contributing to overall water quality.The duration of study was March 2017 to February 2018.

Keywords: Analysis,Comprehensive, Groundwater,Total hardness, Investigation, Water quality, Water sample

Introduction:

It has been known that the earth is unique planet in the solar system and the universe to originate and flourish living creature on it due to one of the very important factors.i.e.water, but it is polluted more or less at every nook and corner of the world.Water resources in India has no exception for this phenomenon.

Through analysis and of water quality status is a very comprehensive and complex study required to be supported by long term data analysis.

Seasonal variation,temporal development in region,climate changes etc.however with the consideration of time and resources behind such detailed analysis,it is merely feasible for research task while the regional development task needs an approach include the collective consideration of water quality parameters with their due impact on overall water quality in the study area rather than equal weightage based traditional approach.

Khambhat is situated near the bay of khambhat.

So, water quality of this area is found degraded due to influence of sea water intrusion during tidal and non tidal periods.Construction of barrier structures across the river in estuarial zone which may remarkably or partly obstruct the propagation of tidal currents and lead to lateral intrusion of pollutants in khambhat acquifers. Water quality is one of the most effective tools to monitor the surface as well as ground water pollution and can be used efficiently in the implementation of water quality upgrading programmers.

Water quality provide information on a rating scale from zero to hundred. Higher value of water quality index indicates better quality of water and lower value shows poor water quality.

Methods and materials:

To understanding the water quality, sampling of water is an important tool. It is extremely difficult to entire water body and it may be necessary either a small portion of water referred to as a sample, which represent the whole water body, it is collecting for detailed investigation. This is good as testing the entire water body,bimonthly (winter,summer,monsoon) samples will collect of villages of khambhat taluka.

Turbidity and pH were measured by digital nephelo turbidity meter(type-132) and pH meter (type-332) respectively, chloride

was estimated by precipitation method using AgNO3 solution.Sulphate was estimated by UV-visible spectrometer(type-11).Total hardness was determined by volumetric titration (EDTA method).

All parameters are in mg/l except PH.

Results obtained during the analysis were shown in table . WHO standards for

drinking water are given below.

Sulphate : 250 mg/lit

Zinc : 5 mg/lit

Chloride :250 mg/lit

Total hardness :100 mg/lit

Volume XI, Issue X, October/2019 Page No:476 The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO: 0886-9367

Calcium : 208 mg/l

Magnesium : 228 mg/l

The concentration of sulphate and chloride were found in the range 229-270

mg/lit and 223-249 mg/lit respectively.

High chloride content has poisonous effect on plant and animals

The pH value of water was ranged between 6.66-7.53 indicating slightly alkaline

nature of water . Total hardness was found in the range 468-536 mg/litre

Conclusion:

The concentration of sulphate,chloride,ca+2 and Mg+2 were found beyond minimum tolerance limit.

The concentration of total hardness were found out of range.

Total hardness of Dhuvaran ,Pandad,Vadgam,Mitli and Kalamsar villages were found very high than ideal range 100 mg/litre,

because these villages are situated shortest distance from bay of khambhat.
