Evaluation of Groundwater Quality for Drinking Purposes of Tribal Society in Meghnagar Study Region, Jhabua District, Madhya Pradesh, India

Abstract

A study called "Evaluation of Groundwater Quality for Drinking Purposes of Tribal Society in Meghnagar study Region, Jhabua District, Madhya Pradesh, India" was carried out to assess the shallow groundwater quality of a specific Pat River basin. Twenty samples were taken from an open-pit well in the Meghnagar research area. Turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and total hardness have all been measured, and the physical parameters show that all samples are colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, carbonate, bicarbonate, nitrate, and fluoride were among the chemical characteristics that were determined. Determining the physical and chemical characteristics of groundwater is crucial for defining its suitability for tribal society's drinking needs, and the quality assessment indicates that the groundwater in the research region is suitable for drinking.
