Abstract:
In the present study, water quality index is worked out to assess the groundwater scenario of Haridwar district,
Uttarakhand, India. Data of forty groundwater samples collected from piezometers, dug wells, bore wells are used.
The Water Quality Index is computed using seven parameters viz. pH, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness,
Fluoride, Chloride, Sulfate and Nitrate. The WQI results show that the overall water quality class is ‘good’ and
water is acceptable for domestic use.
