Data on appraisal of groundwater quality in north-eastern Haryana

Abstract

This dataset paper aimed to analyse the quality of groundwater of Yamunanagar and Ambala districts in North-Eastern Haryana, India rooted on the various analytical elements and hydro-chemical parameters. Also, Piper and Gibbs diagram were applied to observe hydro-chemical characteristics and controlling constituents of the underground aqua region. The impendence of anions was noted to be tolerable in 93.33% of the spots while 86.67% groundwater samples were observed to be in the desirable limit for cations. The analytical constituents of TH, TA, TDS, and pH were reported to be tolerable in 76.66%, 80%, 60%, and 100% of the water-samples, respectively. Eight water-sampling spots manifested unacceptable ranges of one or more of the physico-chemical constituents. Seven spots were observed to be suffering from one constituent and therefore were classified to be falling in the ‘Grey-Zone’. One location (i.e. 23) has been found to be severely influenced by excess of TH, TA, TDS, SO 4 2− , and Ca 2+ and is reported to be falling in the ‘Red-Zone’. The classification of groundwater based on Piper diagram depicted that pre-dominant type of sub-surface water hydro-chemical facies of area was ‘Ca– Mg– HCO 3 –Cl ’ . Gibb's figure revealed that underground water pre-eminence distribution is probably resulted by water-rock dominance in sub-surface water.

Hydrochemical investigation of groundwater quality for drinking and irrigational purposes from industrial belt of Jharkhand, India

“…Alkali hazards in water samples are determined by SAR and relative cations concentration. Based on SAR, irrigation water can be defined in to four categories (Ravish et al., 2019) (Exhibit 7). High sodium concentration in water leads to the formation of alkaline soil (Adimalla et al., 2018a).…”
