Rekha.S. Choudhary | Dr. Mohan I Naik

Abstract: Groundwater plays an important and critical component for public health, environment and the nations economy. In recent times, the importance of groundwater and its accessibility has gained momentum as a major requirement of drinking water, industrial and agricultural needs. However, much concentration is not given to their utility, management and sustainability. The chemical composition of groundwater is influenced by various reactions such as acid base, oxidation reduction and solid phase interactions in the aquifer medium. The resultant composition of the water would be in keeping with the mineralogy of the aquifer and movement of groundwater. An attempt has been made to evaluate the groundwater quality through monitoring of network stations in Karnataka.
