Evaluation of Groundwater Quality Through Identification of Potential Contaminant

Groundwater, is crucial for human consumption and industrial purposes, demands continuous monitoring to assess quality standards. This study conducts a comprehensive evaluation of groundwater quality to assess its overall condition and identify potential contaminants. The research predicts the presence and levels of contaminants such as heavy metals, organic pollutants, and microbial agents using hydrogeological studies, chemical analysis, and statistical modelling. A covariance analysis identified places with low water quality. Analysis shows most samples satisfy drinking water requirements. A consolidated map illustrates a significant expanse suitable for domestic and drinking purposes, particularly in terms of drinking water quality. However, water quality in 2467.09 sq. km is deemed unacceptable. Further analysis, including correlation, ANOVA, and t-tests such as One Sample Test, Bayesian Statistics, and Power Analysis, identifies 836.87 sq. km under the category of maximum permissible water quality and 9.19 sq. km as highly desirable for drinking and domestic use.
