Introduction: People prefer to use groundwater for daily needs to piped water in Indonesia. However, population growth and the construction of residential homes can hugely affect the quality of groundwater. The study aims to examine the relationship between groundwater quality and its influencing factors. Methods: This study was conducted with a quantitative approach and a survey method. Primary and secondary data were required in this study. The variables examined in this study were groundwater quality as seen from its biological parameters and influencing factors which consisted of internal and external factors. Results and Discussion: The results show that the highest coliform bacteria content was found in Cipinang Melayu at 200 MPN/100 mL concentrations in 2019 and 2020, as well as 100 MPN/100 mL in 2021, followed by Pinang Ranti. The highest coliform content was discovered in Halim Perdana Kusuma well number 3 at 50 MPN/100 mL concentration. Groundwater contains coliform because of internal influencing factors as well as external factors. Coliform content and its influence factors were both significantly correlated with a P-value < 0.05 (correlation coefficient = 0.201 for internal factors; correlation coefficient = -0.144 for external factors). The groundwater quality and internal factors were correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.634; meanwhile, the groundwater quality was significantly correlated with external factors with a correlation coefficient of 0.656. Conclusion: Groundwater quality was not aligned with standards for drinking water as evaluated from the biological parameters. Both internal and external factors influence the Total coliform content.

“…Unregulated use of groundwater systems entails a host of eco-environmental crises including, soilwater salinization (Krishan et al, 2020;Nehra, 2016;Ravish et al, 2018;Chaudhuri and Ale, 2014a-d) and enhanced greenhouse gas emission (Rajan et al, 2020). Depleting groundwater reserves have already compelled farmers to overuse harmful agrochemicals, use deep tillage, that, undermines land systems' sustainability (Chaudhuri et al, 2022;Nehra, 2016).…”

Rise of groundwater-sourced irrigation in India towed along grave concerns over water resources conservation. In this narrative, we offer the authorities (groundwater and irrigation systemsâ managers) a Groundwater Depletion Awareness Index (GDAI) â a collective expression of farmersâ cognitive awareness, integrating four key aspects of irrigated agriculture: (i) groundwater depletion; (ii) water-efficient crops; (iii) irrigation innovations for water conservation; and (iv) uptake of recent irrigation policies at grassroots. We employed a mixed method approach, a cross-sectional survey (10 villages, 100 farmers in Sonepat, Haryana) combined with multivariate statistics (principal component analysis and multivariate regression). Results indicated that although there is certain level of awareness about groundwater depletion, only about 8% of the interviewees adopted water-efficient practices, such as micro-irrigation (MI) and poly house farming (PH). About 42% of interviewees heard of governmentâs MI policy (Per Drop More Crop; launched in 2015), while only 7% were aware of its benefits. None was aware of the advantages of PH. At the grassroots, farmers appeared more aware of potential challenges of MI and PH than their opportunities. None was aware of the Haryana state governmentâs recent Jal Hi Jeevan Hai policy (Water is Life; 2019) that urges farmers to diversify and switch to water-efficient crops. Overall, the GDAI revealed multidimensional cognitive barriers to increase uptake of water-efficient farming. It owes to profound disconnect between policy-making and awareness generation at grassroots. We outline means to bridge the gap about how to (i) promote PH-based farming; (ii) restructure financial packages for MI; and (iii) motivate farmers by hands-on demonstration of economic returns of PH and MI.

Microplastic (MP) contamination has become a serious environmental concern that affects terrestrial environments, aquatic ecosystems, and human health. The current study assesses the presence, abundance, and morphology of MPs present in the surface water of Rohtak district, Haryana, India, which is rapidly undergoing industrialization. While the morphological studies of MPs were conducted through stereo microscopy and field emission‐scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), the elemental composition of polymers was analyzed through attenuated total reflectance‐Fourier transform infrared (ATR‐FTIR). The results revealed that the surface water was significantly contaminated by polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. Moreover, the abundance of MPs was found to be 16–28 particles/L with an average value of 23 particles/L. Most of the MPs had fibrous morphology with the specifics being, fibers (43.9%), fragments (23.7%), films (17%), and pellets (15.4%). The MPs exhibited a size range of 0.61–4.87 mm, with an average size measured at 2.03 ± 0.04 mm. Also, the MP pollution load index values for the surface water bodies were found to be below 10, indicating a low risk category. Though currently designated as “low risk,” it is important that mitigation strategies be brought over at this juncture to further prevent the deterioration of quality of water. Thus, this study not only intends to bring forth the impact of human activities, industrial waste, open waste dumping, and inadequate municipal waste management practices on increasing MP concentration but also highlights the sustainable alternatives and strategies to address this emerging pollutant in urban water systems. For further prevention, the implementation of stringent regulations and on‐site plastic waste segregation is a critical component in preventing the disposal of plastic waste in surface water bodies.Research Highlights The abundance of MPs was found to be 16–28 particles/L, with an average value of 23 particles/L. The surface water bodies in Rohtak district fall into the hazard categories of low risk with values less than 10. The overall MP concentration in water, across all five areas, based on color was in order: white/transparent (39.1%), black (15%), gray (9.1%), green (8.7%), blue (7.8%), red (7.8%), orange (6.3%), and yellow (6.1%). The dominant polymers were polyethylene (PE) (42%) and polypropylene (41%) as determined by FTIR spectroscopy.
