Abstract

The scientific community is very concerned about groundwater contamination since it directly affects human health and also to achieve SDG6. Since fast pace of urbanization have been ascertained in Bhubaneswar- a smart city of eastern India and mostly dependent on ground water so the quality of ground water must be rigorously examined. This research has taken an initiative to focus the ground water contamination and quality declination through different seasons in Bhubaneswar. Most likely high population density areas, industrial areas and landfills nearby areas have been considered for sample collection and testing. The groundwater samples were collected from deep bore-well i.e., 150-200ft and were tested for summer season and rainy season of the year 2023. Twelve different water quality parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total hardness, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, iron, alkalinity, nitrate, fluoride, sulphate, were examined in order to determine the city’s water quality for the given year using weighted arithmetic water quality index method. The parameters like pH have got varied in 73.3% in Summer and 93.3% in rainy season in all the above areas. Whereas Mancheswar has got a high variation in the parameters like electrical conductivity and nitrate in summer and rainy respectively beyond permissible limit as per IS10500(2012). Also, water quality index indicates 33.3% and 40% areas in summer and rainy are unsuitable for drinking. It shows that care must be taken for all the above parameters to stop further contamination of groundwater.
