Groundwater quality Mapping using hydrogen chemistry and Geostatistical Analyst of Mahesh River Basin, Akola and Buldhana District, Maharashtra, India.

Abstract

The aim of this present study was to evaluate groundwater quality in the Mahesh River Basin of Akola and Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India. A detailed geochemical study of groundwater region is described, and the origin of the chemical composition of groundwater has been qualitatively evaluated, using observations over a period of one seasons premonsoon (June) in the year of 2014. To attempt this goal, samples were analysed for various physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, salinity, Na+, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3- and SO42-. The abundance of major cations concentration in groundwater is as Na>Ca>Mg>K, while that of anions is Cl>SO4>HCO3.
