Abstract:
Over 60% of the global population thrives solely by relying on groundwater reserves. Groundwater quality needs attention as it is the major source for drinking purposes. Raghunathapalli watershed is located in North-Western part of Jangaon District, Telangana state. The watershed is a tributary of AleruVagu (Musi Sub-basin) of Krishna Basin. There are about 271 different sources like Hand Pumps & Deep Bore wells which are essentially being used for drinking purpose. The chemical elements (9 nos) examined are pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Hardness (TH), Total Alkalinity (TA), Fluoride (F), Chloride (Cl), Iron (Fe), Nitrate (NO3) and Sulfate (SO4) with respect to its contamination spread as per ISO 10500: 2012 during pre and post-monsoon seasons. The spatial distribution and concentration of chemical elements is carried out by using spatial interpolation technique namely Inverse Distance Weightage (IDW) method from the point source data. Out of 9 elements; it is revealed that pH, Chloride (Cl), Iron (Fe) and Sulfate (SO4) distribution is within the permissible limits. The major problematic contaminant is Fluoride which is marginally affected (1.50-3.00 ppm) for about 18% sources. Total Hardness (14% sources), TDS (2%), Nitrate (2%) and Total Alkalinity (2%) are out of range marginally for a few sources.
