Hydrogeochemical Assessment, Groundwater Contamination, and Associated Health Risk in the Mor River Basin of North Maharashtra, India
Groundwater quality assessment is crucial for sustainable water resource development, particularly in water-scarce regions like Northern Maharashtra. This study aims to evaluate the seasonal hydrogeochemical variations in the Mor River basin, assess the associated health risks, and determine the groundwater quality for domestic suitability. The research addresses the gap in studies examining the combined effects of agricultural practices, seasonal variations, and health risks on groundwater quality in this region. A total of 68 groundwater samples were collected during the pre-monsoon (PRM) and post-monsoon (POM) seasons of 2022. Major ions were analyzed following American Public Health Association (APHA) standards, and the results were compared with World Health Organization (WHO) 2017 drinking water standards. The analysis revealed that parameters such as electrical conductivity (EC), pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), bicarbonate (HCO3), chloride (Cl), nitrate (NO3), and fluoride (F) exceeded the desirable (DL) and permissible limits (PL) in both seasons. Elevated TDS (average 1350 mg/L) and TH (average 320 mg/L) in PRM indicated mineral leaching and the influence of irrigation. Notably, 79% of the samples in PRM and 38% in POM exceeded the WHO-recommended nitrate limits, suggesting the impact of agricultural practices. Groundwater Quality Index (GWQI) values ranged from 117.38 to 188.87 (average 150.46) in PRM and 97.08 to 181.29 (average 133.54) in POM, indicating poor water quality. Health risk (hazard quotient [HQ]) values exceeded safe limits, particularly for teenagers and adults, with non-carcinogenic hazards identified in both seasons. The findings highlight the significant degradation of groundwater quality due to intensive irrigation and fertilizer use, which adversely affects human health. These results emphasize the need for sustainable agricultural practices and targeted groundwater management in the region. This research has practical implications for groundwater management policy, sustainable farming practices, and public awareness of the health hazards associated with contaminated water in water-scarce areas.
