| Summary, etc. biblio.abstract | Physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater in<br/>parts of Eastern Karnataka are examined to determine whether they conform to the quality standards<br/>of water used for drinking, agriculture and industrial end uses. Eighty eight samples from forty five<br/>villages have been analysed for this purpose. Cation<br/>abundances in the groundwater are in the order:<br/>Na+ > Ca++ > Mg++ > K<br/>+. Anion abundances<br/>are in the order HCO−<br/>3 > Cl− > SO2<br/>4 > NO−<br/>3 > F<br/>−.<br/>Only in one locality, SO2<br/>4<br/>content is very high. According to Piper’s classification, 42% of the water samples<br/>belong to Ca–Mg–Cl type; 30% to the Ca–Mg–HCO3,<br/>16% to Ca–Na–HCO3, 9% to NaCl and 3% to NaHCO3<br/>types. Gibbs plot shows that water–rock interaction is<br/>the dominant process controlling the major ion chemistry, although there is evidence of evaporation at some<br/>places. Out of 45 villages, excess of fluoride, nitrate<br/>and uranium are found in 23, 28 and 26 villages respectively. Phosphate is higher than 1 mg/l in all the<br/>villages. Lithium exceeds the permissible limit in 27<br/>out of 43 localities. Concentrations of other trace<br/>elements Ag, Al, Ba, Tl, As, B, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li,<br/>Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, V, Zn and U were determined in selected samples. Arsenic exceeds the permissible limit<br/>for drinking water in one village. Groundwater in<br/>21 out of 45 villages is suitable for agriculture, while |
