Surface water is an essential natural resource for the survival of biotic components on Earth and plays a vital role in every country's domestic, commercial, agricultural, and industrial sectors. River water is a primary source of surface water, and its quality is very important for crop production, maintenance of soil productivity, and protection of the environment; hence, the assessment of river water quality for irrigation is essential. The present study assessed the Chambal River water quality for irrigation purposes in upstream and downstream of Kota Dam, Rajasthan (India). Various irrigation water quality indices (IWQIs), such as SAR, KR, TH, Na%, PI, MH, RSC, and RSBC are evaluated to define overall irrigation water quality. Four sampling sites are selected to define IWQIs with the help of seven water quality parameters, namely, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, carbonate, bicarbonate, and electrical conductivity. This study shows a significant variation in the values of different IWQIs for irrigation compared to 2019 in 2020. The values of IWQIs at Akelgarh indicate the water quality as "Good and Suitable" for irrigation purposes for both years. However, the scenario is different at Rangpur, SRRT, and Keshoraipatan sampling locations. The river water quality for irrigation is continuously deteriorating during the study period and presently has the status of "Moderately suitable" for irrigation. The research demonstrated the application of IWQI, which would be helpful to policymakers and stakeholders to provide large-scale management to control pollution in the Chambal River for economic and sustainable social development.

The Chambal river plays an essential role in satisfying all water demands for the two million population of Kota and nearby districts of Rajasthan (India). This research aims to analyse the Chambal river water quality for irrigation in the upstream and downstream of Kota dam, Rajasthan (India), for five years, from 2017 to 2021. The irrigation water quality of the Chambal river at Kota is estimated with the help of five indices, namely, the permeability index (PI). Kelly ration (KR), magnesium hazard (MH), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), and sodium absorption ratio (SAR). Calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate were analysed from 2017 to 2021 to complete irrigation water quality indices (IWQIs) for the Chambal river upstream and downstream of the Kota dam. Akalgarh is situated upstream of the Kota dam, while Rangpur, SRRT, and Keshoraipatan in the downstream. The irrigation water quality indices (IWQIs) are estimated to access river water quality for agricultural use. SAR, SAP, KR, MH, and PI had higher values in downstream sampling points than upstream during the observation period of five years. Hence, upstream river water is more suitable for use in agricultural activities. The evaluated IWQIs are the best rating tool for Chambal river water quality. Different characteristics of Chambal river water may be assessed through these IWQIs. The best management program and pollution control strategies can be determined, which ultimately helps stack holders for decision making.

The present study assesses the water quality of the Chambal River for drinking and irrigation in Kota City on a seasonal and annual basis. Twenty-three parameters to be observed for the water quality of the Chambal River at four sampling points at Kota district, Rajasthan (India). The observation period was from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. The water quality of Chambal River water for drinking and irrigation is determined with the help of WQI and IWQI. The results were compared with the bureau Indian Standard "IS 10500:2012" for drinking water. All the parameters were found under the prescribed limit. The river's water quality upstream of Kota Barrage is suitable for drinking and irrigation. But, in the downstream, it varies from poor to very poor category, making it unsuitable for human consumption. This research is an earlier sign of regulating agencies to control and manage river water pollution.
