[MAG45-P02] Mapping and analysis of irrigation water quality index of Hisar district Haryana, India by using Surfer Software
Keywords:Water quality index, Irrigation, Concentration, Total hardness
An investigation is carried out to analyze the underground water quality of 26 villages in Hisar for their quality parameters and comprehensively arriving at a single water quality index. The irrigation water samples were collected manually from the bore wells which are approximately equally distributed all over 26 villages of Hisar. The samples were analyzed using standard procedures in the laboratory (APHA, 1985). The parameters analyzed during the analysis are pH, EC, Chlorides, Calcium, Magnesium representation of irrigation water quality attributes using SURFER 7.0 for individual as well as weighted water quality index. From the investigation, it is clearly evident that the groundwater of the area needs some degree of treatment before consumption. Based on the investigations carried out, it is observed that Saharwa, Kanwari, Lakhpul, Kinala, Adampur, Chanotl and Bhaganal villages contain water quality very poor for irrigation purpose due to over salt accumulation. Necessary measures are to be taken to gain safe irrigation and drinking water to the people living in the villages. Total hardness was found to be very high in Kanwari and Lakhpul villages. Very high concentrations of chloride, calcium and magnesium were found in Mangali, Sisai , Salemgarh and Balaws villages. The water quality is good in Lawda, Bagla, Madha, Parba, Sarsod, Rajli, Siswal, and Dahima villages based on water quality index. The qater quality was found moderately food in Sundawas, Moth Rangran, Parbhuwala, Lohari Ragho and Masudpur villages.
