Abstract:
In this present work, Water Quality Index (WQI) based study on Groundwater quality at Andhra University Campus, Visakhapatnam is aimed at to evaluate its suitability for drinking purpose. Groundwater samples are collected from the twenty five bore wells during the Post-monsoon (November 2015 to February 2016), Pre-monsoon (March 2016 to June 2016) and Monsoon (July 2016 to October2016) periods at regular intervals of time and are analysed for various physico-chemical parameters using standard laboratory procedures. The Water quality Indices (WQI) calculated both in National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NSFWQI) and Weighted Arithmetic Index Water Quality Index (WAIWQI) methods indicated that the quality of groundwater is found to be good with respect to physico-chemical parameters in all seasons in the study area and suitable for drinking purpose.
