Several hydro
geochemical processes controlling the geochemistry of aquifers, the
suitability of groundwater for agriculture, and routine use were
assessed in the Pulivendula area during the current survey. To
characterize the main physicochemical components of the aquifer
water, a total of 24 drilling locations were selected. The findings
showed that the groundwater had an alkaline pH. Due to the ideal
limits of total dissolved solids, magnesium (Mg2+), sodium (Na+),
potassium (K+), sulphate (SO42−), and chloride (Cl−), the majority
of samples fall within the appropriate range. Residential use of
groundwater should be avoided in areas when EC, total hardness,
calcium (Ca2+), and nitrate (NO3−) slightly exceed recommended
standards. With very few exceptions, the groundwater in the research
region is appropriate for human consumption, according to the
analytical findings. The Piper diagram was utilized to analyze all
samples to identify the primary hydro geochemical components found
in groundwater. In this area, cations predominate in groundwater
with Ca2+ > Na+ > Mg2+ > K+, followed by anions HCO3 − > Cl− > SO4
2− > F−. According to the Gibbs plot study, the primary hydro
geochemical mechanism controlling the geochemistry of thegroundwater
in this area is the rock-aquifer interaction. It was discovered that
the greatest number of water samples was ideal for cultivation. |
