Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Talupula Mandal, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India

We must guard against pollution and biological contamination of our drinking water. Health, happiness, and the ability to feed one's family are all directly impacted by the availability and quality of clean water. The quality and amount of elements dispersed and dissolved in underground water greatly influences its quality, even when the water itself is free of contaminants. It is therefore a major environmental issue in many nations, particularly in developing countries, where untreated surface water and groundwater sources for home and agricultural use are most vulnerable to the negative effects of low water quality. Groundwater quality in and around Talupula mandal, Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, is the study's primary goal. Survey of India Toposheet no. 57 J/8 covers the subject region under investigation. Thirteen bore wells in Anantapur district's Talupula mandal, Anantapur district, were sampled during the month of January 2018 for drinking water. Grey granite, pink granite, hornblende-biotite gneiss, hornblende-gneiss, biotite gneiss, and migmatite make up the study area's geological makeup. In the last two decades, water quality and management techniques have grown increasingly crucial in developing countries. Analysis shows that for the fourteen water samples, quality parameters including pH and EC and TDS have been determined as well as total hardness and chloride as well as iron and fluoride as well as sulphate and nitrate concentrations. Fluoride and EC ions concentrations are 57 percent and 78 percent over the WHO and ISI permitted limits, respectively. The remaining water samples are safe to drink and are within the legal limit.
