Abstract:
The present study was conducted to evaluate the groundwater quality parameters and prepare the
spatial distribution maps for south Sindhudurg district through the Geographical Information
System (GIS). In South Sindhudurg district, some villages face water scarcity during summer
months in spite of heavy rainfall. Therefore, all the agricultural as well as domestic need of water
are fulfilled by using groundwater. The Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Residual Sodium
Carbonate (RSC), Soluble Sodium Percentage (SSP), Percent Sodium (%Na), Permeability Index
(PI) were analysed for five years in this study. The IDW technique was used to prepare the
geospatial distribution maps of ground water parameters which will beneficial for deciding the
water quality status. The groundwater status of south Sindhudurg good for irrigation purpose.
The results SAR, RSC, SSP, PI, and % Na implying that the 100% of the groundwater fall under
excellent to good category. |
