Spatio-Temporal Patterns Of Groundwater Quality Based On Hydrochemical Indicators In Haryana’s Bhiwani And Hisar Districts
Keywords:
Groundwater, Quality Parameters, Hydro Chemical, Bhiwani, HisarAbstract
Overexploitation of groundwater in Haryana's Bhiwani and Hisar districts has led to significant Hfluctuations in both quantity and quality, especially in unconfined aquifers. This study investigates the spatio-temporal distribution of groundwater quality using hydrochemical indicators such as pH, nitrate, fluoride, sulphate, magnesium, and electrical conductivity to understand the evolving status of groundwater resources. By integrating laboratory hydrochemical analysis with geospatial techniques, the research identifies vulnerable zones and tracks quality shifts between 2019 and 2023. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive monitoring, sustainable management, and policy interventions to safeguard groundwater resources in semi-arid northern India.
