Assessment of the groundwater quality of the Kangsabati river basin confined with both agricultural and arid parts reside at Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India. Total 50 water samples were analyzed for studying the three different major seasons. Then the collected samples from the river basin were studied for electrical conductivity, TDS, pH, and major cations like sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium as well as anions like carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, nitrate and sulphate (followed by the American Public Health Association’s protocol). The specified locations were selected to cover the whole study area and specific consideration was given to the region where contamination is expected. The usual groundwater contaminants were nitrate, chloride, TDS, Na and K elements. The results were assessed in relation to the drinking water quality standardized by the World Health Organization. To find out the precise distribution pattern of the concentration of different elements and targeted to differentiate the higher pollutants concentration, multiple statistical approaches also carried out, discussed, and presented in zone-based classification. Though the polluted areas in this are surveyed out but groundwater of Kangsabati river basin will be managed by applying the proper management practices. |
