Groundwater Quality Assessment in Kanakapura Town, Bengaluru South District, Karnataka

Abstract Water is very important for sustainable life. It not only sustains life but also determines the quality of life. Assessing water quality is just as important as quantity in water resource planning and management. In recent years, rapid urbanization, population growth, and changing land use patterns have led to increasing stress on water resources, especially groundwater. Kanakapura, like many other towns in Karnataka, is experiencing rising water demand for agricultural, domestic, and developmental activities. These pressures have caused variations in groundwater quality, making continuous assessment crucial. The present study on the groundwater quality of Kanakapura town aimed to evaluate physico-chemical parameters to assess suitability for drinking and domestic use. A total of 20 samples were collected ward-wise and analyzed for parameters including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), calcium, magnesium, chloride, fluoride, sulphate, phosphate, sodium, potassium, and nitrate, in accordance with BIS (IS 10500:2012) standards. Overall, the findings reveal that while pH, fluoride, phosphate, sodium, potassium, and nitrate remain largely within permissible limits, parameters such as EC, TDS, total hardness, calcium, chloride, and sulphate exceeded recommended limits in several locations. These results suggest that certain wards in Kanakapura face significant water quality challenges, likely due to combined effects of geology, agricultural practices, and urban activities.
