An Experimental Investigation of Surface Water Quality Using GIS Application

Dhivakar M, Madhu A K

Abstract


Surface water quality models can be helpful devices to reproduce and anticipate the levels, dispersion, and rick of substance toxins in a given water body. Water quality is considered as a major issue in numerous urban areas of agricultural nations. Surveying the water quality list and physical-synthetic boundaries for the surface water of the current work is pointed. For a physical-compound investigation, surface water tests of chosen different area were gathered. For calculating the present water quality index status the following quality parameters were considered: PH, Total dissolved solids, Total suspended solids, BOD, DO, COD, alkalinity, Turbidity. The present study is concentrated on the surface water quality index by using GIS software. The study also reveals that the surface water quality is highly deteriorated due to anthropogenic activities such as urbanization, construction activities, and agricultural activities, discharge of untreated sewage and disposal of solid waste directly into surface water.
