Assessment of Groundwater Quality for Irrigation Use and Evolution of Hydrochemeical Facies in the Yeshwanthapur SubBasin, Warangal Dist

Abstract

The Yeshwanthapur is a sub-basin of Aler river basin with an aerial extent of 688 sq. kms with a perimeter of 136 kms. The study area comprises Archaean group of rocks represented by Peninsular Gneiss Complexes occupy major part of with grey and pink granite/gneisses. Assessment of groundwater quality for irrigation use and hydrochemical evolution of groundwater has been studied. Hydrochemical analysis has been carried out based on concentrations of Ca+, Mg+, Na+, K+, Cl+, F, So-, Coand HCoɜ, Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and Percent Sodium (%Na) have been studied to evaluate suitability of irrigation use most of the area groundwater in the basin
