“…Several scientific studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] are being carried out worldwide on MSW leachate pollution impact on water bodies. Spatial variation of groundwater quality depends on the geological formation through which it flows and on anthropogenic activities in the groundwater [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

The present study aimed to assess the impact of municipal solid waste dumpsite on groundwater bodies at Hyderabad, India. Leachate and groundwater samples collected through pre-and post-monsoon analyzed the physicochemical, microbiological, biological and heavy metals. The analytical data were compared with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) drinking water quality standards. Water quality index (WQI), heavy metal pollution indices like heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) and degree of contamination (Cd) are calculated for groundwater samples. High total dissolve solids values in leachates revealed that they were highly contaminated with organic and inorganic salts. Biological oxygen demand values indicated that dumpsite was "old and stabilized" with decreasing biodegradability from time to time. According to WQI, about 75% of the water samples identified as "Poor" category that is not suitable for neither drinking nor domestic purposes as per BIS standards. Similarly, HEI and Cd results indicated that majority of the samples are labeled with low-metal pollution status. Spatial patterns obtained through geographic information systems using inverse distance weighted interpolation technique revealed that the concentrations of various parameters are high due to increased degradation of solid wastes during rainfall, especially during the post-monsoon. The study suggested that leachates have treated prior to disposal on land, and continuous monitoring of groundwater wells is required to minimize the pollution and potential health hazards.

“…Different powers can be used for IDW interpolation and plotted against RMSPE. However,

is mostly used as a default value to estimate points by this interpolation because it provides minimum RMSPE ( Aravindan and Shankar, 2011 , Kamble et al, 2020 , Murugesan et al, 2020 ). 1 st -degree polynomial trend maps per se are strongly informative and robustly bring out the general trend of variation of the mapped variable across the study area.…”

The study aims to understand the hydrochemical characteristics and groundwater suitability for agricultural and drinking purposes. For this purpose, 21 groundwater samples were collected, and major physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, temp, salinity, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3−, Cl−, and SO42− were analyzed, followed by the standard analytical procedures. Different groundwater quality graphical representations were constructed by using Aqua Chem software. The results indicate groundwater samples were alkaline with fresh to moderate saline in nature, sixty-eight percent of the samples were suitable for drinking in accordance with WHO, and thirty-two percent of the samples were unsuitable due to the excess amount of different ionic concentrations derived from natural and various anthropogenic sources. Irrigation water quality parameters such as SAR, EC, PI, Na %, RSBC, MR, and KR were used to understand the irrigation suitability. The US salinity diagram exemplifies that most groundwater samples fall in the C3S1 category with high salinity hazard and low alkali hazard. The Wilcox plot reveals that 80% of the samples were found under very good to permissible limits, and few samples fall with doubtful to unsuitable quality due to the excess amount of alkali and salinity. Permeability index values show that groundwater is suitable for irrigation. Three major hydrochemical facies were identified with the dominance order of mixed CaMgCl, NaCl, and CaCl. Gibb’s plot suggests that evaporation and rock-water interaction are the dominant natural mechanisms controlling the groundwater chemistry in the present study area.

Abstract: Ground water is an excellent solvent, which dissolves chemicals ions as it moves through rocks and subsurface soil. This leads to more mineralization in groundwater than surface water.
