Evaluation of TDS, PH and electrical conductivity in well-water’s of Nandgaon, Maharashtra and Its significance

Abstract Groundwater is one of the most vital natural resources for drinking, domestic, agricultural, and industrial applications, especially in rural and semi-urban regions where surface water availability is limited. The quality of groundwater is influenced by natural geological processes as well as anthropogenic activities such as agriculture, urbanization, and industrial discharge. Among the various physicochemical parameters used to evaluate groundwater quality, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS) are considered fundamental indicators of water suitability for human consumption and other applications.
The present study investigates the physicochemical characteristics of well water collected from 28 different locations, with special emphasis on EC, pH, and TDS. Standard analytical methods were employed to determine these parameters, and the results were compared with World Health Organization (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) guidelines. The electrical conductivity values ranged from 0.513 to 1.447 mS/cm, pH values varied between 6.32 and 7.68, and TDS values ranged from 232 to 518 mg/L. The results indicate that most water samples fall within permissible limits, though some locations exhibited relatively higher mineral content, suggesting possible geological influence and agricultural runoff.
Overall, the study reveals that the majority of well water samples are suitable for potable and domestic use, while certain locations require regular monitoring to prevent future deterioration of groundwater quality. The findings emphasize the importance of periodic assessment and sustainable groundwater management to ensure safe water availability for present and future generations.
