Abstract
Water is the vital essence, miracle of nature and the great sustainer of life. It is extremely essential for survival of all living organism. Ground water serves as a major source for drinking, irrigation and industrial purpose all over the world. Many factors affect the quality of groundwater and cause major health issues. Therefore regular monitoring of ground water quality is necessary. Present paper has formulated on the basis of assessment of impact of geological features and agricultural runoff in ground water sources of Sarguja district (C.G.) India. Water samples were collected from ten environmentally significant spots for analysis of physical, minerals, nutrients, agricultural qualities and toxic metallic and non metallic elements. The procured experimental values were subjected for the statistical evaluation and compared with the standard values prescribed by the water monitoring agencies BIS (2012) and WHO (2011). The result for pH recorded up to 10.0, turbidity (15.67 NTU), TS (720 mg/L), F- (15.67 mg/L), Fe (2.366 mg/L), Na (115 mg/L), in maximum concentration. The statistical parameter such as mean, standard deviation, standard error, % CV, correlation matrix and water quality index (WQI) were systematically calculated for pre monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon session. The obtained results are far away from the standard values which showed the investigated water samples are not suitable for drinking and agricultural purpose without prior treatment.
