GIS Mapping of Groundwater Quality for Irrigation in Badhra Block of Charkhi Dadri District, Haryana, India

Groundwater represents an important resource for sustaining life.The study was conducted to evaluate groundwater in the Badhara block of Charkhi Dadri District of Haryana. GIS was used to show the spatial distribution of water quality parameters. During the study 61groundwater samples were collected from different location were estimated for sodium concentration (Na %) and sodium absorption ratio (SAR) and Residual sodium carbonate (RSC). According to the distribution map of irrigation water quality as per AICRP classification about 54% samples were found Good, 8% samples under Marginally saline and 6% water samples were classified under High SAR saline category, 22.9% water samples were categorized as Marginally alkali. The result of study indicated that the groundwater quality in the study area is mostly suitable for irrigation purpose.
