Resumo

Groundwater is one of the most important natural resource. It is a widely used for drinking in both the rural and urban areas. The groundwater quality, however in recent time has got deteriorated due to the percolation of polluted water in to the soils from the wastewater drains, polluted river sand ponds. The present study reveals the groundwater quality of Kala Nala basin in the Ichalkaranji, Kolhapur. In that, The Piper Trilinear diagram the chemical quality of dug well, bore well and surface water samples of Kala Nala basin, reveals that, 25% samples of pre and post-monsoon seasons represent HCO3 + CO3 type, 41.67% Ca(Mg)HCO3 type and 33.33% Na(K)HCO3 type of hydro chemical facies. Based on U.S. Salinity diagram groundwater samples of post-monsoon season and pre-monsoon season, 25% samples are fall in C4 -S3 field, 75% samples are in C4 -S2 field and 25% samples are fall in C4 -S3 field, 25% samples are in C4 -S2 and 50% samples are fall in C3 -S2 field respectively. The water sample shows result of medium to very high salinity hence water is unsuitable for irrigation purpose. The Gibbs variation diagrams of pre and post-monsoon seasons suggest the chemistry of groundwater is controlled by precipitation dominance
