Geographical analysis

Abstract

This study evaluated the condition of ground and surface water contamination. Analyzed the spatial-temporal variability and influential elements impacting water quality in Mirzapur district's physiographic regions/villages to present a way forward for future management plans. A preliminary survey was undertaken to find appropriate sampling sites. Seven villages were chosen for sampling, three from the Alluvial Ganga plain and four from the Vindhyan plateau to ensure comprehensive coverage of the entire area. Three samples, one from surface water and two from ground water, were obtained from each town. A total of 21 sampling sites were chosen based on the survey, taking into account both ground water and surface water sources for thorough study. The hydro-geochemical composition of the ground waters collected in the study region varied during the rainy (2012), summer (2013), and winter (2013) seasons. This research aims to analyze water quality variations in water samples and estimate the water's uses in selected region on the basis of water quality assessment.
