Assessment of Groundwater Quality from Public Places of Amroha City, UP

Groundwater is a key natural source of drinking water, and, like other natural resources, its quality should be regularly assessed and made accessible to the public. This study aims to evaluate the quality of groundwater in public areas of Amroha city. To achieve this, seven groundwater samples were collected from various public locations in Amroha and tested through a range of physico-chemical analyses. The results revealed that the groundwater in Amroha is characterized by extreme hardness, high alkalinity, and significant organic pollution. Based on these physico-chemical parameters, it was determined that the groundwater in the area is unsuitable for various uses, including drinking, irrigation, household, and industrial applications. This finding underscores the need for an urgent groundwater quality management strategy in the study area to address these critical issues. Ensuring the safe and sustainable quality of groundwater is essential to protect public health and support the region's environmental and economic needs.
