ASSESSMENT OF GROUND WATER QUALITY OF JAGALUR TALUK OF DAVANGERE DISTRIC, KARNATAKA, INDIAB.M. Manohara, S. Thirumala and B.R. KiranAbstract The current study deals with the analysis of ground water quality in Jagalur taluk of Davangere district, Karnataka. Twenty different sampling sites were selected for the analysis and parameters estimated include pH, alkalinity, total hardness, sulphate, chloride, total dissolved solids, carbonates, bicarbonates and electrical conductivity. The variations in the physico-chemical parameters in the water were observed and they were compared with BIS standards. Hence, the ground water samples are moderately polluted and can cause health hazards. In this study, the water samples of all the 20 sites of the studied area were quite good (fair) for irrigation purpose due to high salinity of ground water. |
