Assessing The Deteriorating Water Quality In Jaipur City Through GIS Interpolation

Abstract

Poor management of water resources is a major challenge for developing countries in providing safe water to the growing population The work of measuring the quality of water in Jaipur city is done continuously by the Central Ground Water Department. The quality of water is mainly determined on the basis of elements like hardness, alkalinity, fluoride, nitrate, chloride and presence of iron. The quality of water has been studied on the basis of standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards in 2012. Water was not uniform everywhere in Jaipur and differences in water quality standards have been found in different areas, the reason for which is the difference in the geological rock structure and quantity of water here. In the presented research paper, out of the five blocks of Jaipur Municipal Corporation Greater, 15 wards out of the total 64 wards of two blocks of the assembly constituency Vidyadhar Nagar and Jhotwara have been selected and the average amount of presence of major ions in water in the year 2023 has been estimated on the basis of the quality of water obtained from the PHED Public Health Engineering Department, Borewell ,Private Tank Aadhi there . The results show that some wards are in a serious situation in terms of degradation of water quality, which will have to be paid attention to by the planners and urban local bodies of Jaipur city
