Implication

This analysis evaluates groundwater quality across seven villages, indicating levels of salinity and heavy metals are concerning for irrigation and drinking.

Key Points

Groundwater quality assessment reveals critical salinity and heavy metal levels, affecting both irrigation and drinking water safety.
Measurements showed that pH in villages S4 and S5 fell below WHO standards, with significant pollution from heavy metals like lead and arsenic.
Hydrochemical analysis indicated that most samples were suitable for irrigation; however, some exceeded safe limits for Na+-sensitive populations.
Findings suggest that while some chemical limits are met, substantial organic pollution was noted, particularly in village S5.
