GUIARAT, INDIA
P. B. VYAS
Abstract
A study of the groundwater of Gandhinagar town in Gujarat was carried out to examine its
suitability for drinking purpose. Groundwater forms the major source of drinking water supply
in the municipal area of Gandhinagar town. For the analysis of groundwater, eighty-four water
samples were collected from the tap water system located in different areas of the town. The data
were analyzed with reference to BIS and WHO standards and it was found that the physicochemical
parameters are well within the maximum permissible limit of drinking water standards.
However, low fluoride content (mean 0.6 mg/L) is observed in all groundwater samples and high
iron content (mean 0.45 mg/L) in 13% of the samples. The study also revealed that groundwater of
area is very hard and is dominated by carbonate and bicarbonate anion with calcium and
magnesium cations
