Analysis of Ground Water Quality: A Case Study in the Savar (Akrain) Area

Abstract

The Savar (Akrain) area has posed a serious threat of reduction not only in quantity but also
deterioration in quality. The primary source of water supply in Savar (Akrain) is mainly from
groundwater available in the shallow and deep aquifers extracted through deep tube wells.
So, the aim of the study is to understand the present condition of groundwater quality. In this
paper, the specific area is delineated to show spatial variability considering physiological,
chemical and biological parameters defined as Turbidity, pH, DO, Arsenic, TDS, TSS, TS
using CCME method. Water quality index calculated by CCME method show that
approximately 62.5 percent is suitable for human consumption within the specific area. The
analysis expose that groundwater of the selected area needs some degree of treatment before
consumption and the results will be beneficial for the planners and decision makers for
effective management of groundwater resources.
