Abstract:

Water quality assessment and management is one of the most important aspects of water security because it is the key to ensure viable growth. The studies purpose and goal is to determine whether the water is suitable for consumption or safe for the environment. Five different talukas of Kolar District, Karnataka, India was chosen as the study area because groundwater has been overexploited in all its five talukas since 2011 due to erratic and scanty distribution of rainfall hence quality is important. Therefore an holistic approach regarding concentration of chloride was employed to investigate the quality of groundwater. Totally, fifty groundwater samples were collected seasonally from fifty different borewells distributed all over the five different talukas of Kolar District and the parameters such as chloride along with other parameters of groundwater were analyzed. The analyzed results reveals that few of the samples were shown higher concentration than the permissible limit and few of the samples were shown concentration of within the permissible limit. Therefore, it is recommended to treat the water adequately prior to its consumption
