Qualitative Assessment Of Water Using Flame Photometer And GIS Techniques

In this study, we have examined 11 samples of water taken from different points e.g. Shallow, river, and underground water, in order to test presence of Na+ and K+ ions in Bhopal region, Madhya Pradesh, India. To determine the proportional contributions of human and natural events, we have plotted the arc GIS maps to represent how the vitiated Na+ and K+ ions are distributed in space in the surface and groundwater sources in the Bhopal region of Madhya Pradesh. Additionally, the “water quality index (WQI)” is generated to check that surface, river & underground water test samples gathered are suitable for occupants of those region to consume. The test sample of location the PMAY site exhibited the least potassium and sodium, according to observations concentration of 41 mg/l and 04 mg/l respectively. The water of location B1 (Mandideep) has the maximum Na+ and K+ concentration of 66 mg/l and 14 mg/l respectively. Total samples had WQI values of less than 50, which means they are all safe for human consumption. To keep the “Water Quality Index (WQI)” in acceptable ranges, suggestion is to limit the application of water softeners and pesticides.
