Abstract:
Groundwater samples (18-54 m depth) from 13 locations were collected and analyzed for major anions and
cations. The analyzed hydro-chemical data formed the attribute database to identify hydro-geochemical
processes occurring in the study area and its relation to groundwater quality. The water type in the study
area is of Ca–Cl, Mg-Cl, Na-Cl, Ca- HCO3, Mg- HCO3, Na-HCO3 type. It was found that the general
hydro-geochemistry of groundwater in the study area is dominated by the processes such as carbonate
weathering, ion-exchange, and dissolution. Thus, hydro-geochemistry of a region can be well understood
using conventional graphical methods and this well help in consumptive use water resources management
in the study area.
