Groundwater analysis indicates major water types are Na–Cl⁻ and Ca–Mg–Cl, with ion exchange influencing chemistry.
Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI) and various physico-chemical parameters were assessed for 59 samples.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified six components explaining 68.27% of variance related to mineral weathering.
Findings support tailored groundwater management strategies in addressing severe water scarcity in the region.
