| Abstract | An investigation was carried out by collecting a total of 21 groundwater samples for two seasons in Gangajalghati Block of Bankura District, West Bengal, to decipher the hydrogeochemistry and groundwater quality for determining its suitability for agricultural and domestic purposes. Different physical–chemical parameters of groundwater samples have been determined. Sodium adsorption ratio, soluble sodium percentage, residual sodium bicarbonate, magnesium adsorption ratio, total hardness, and permeability index were calculated as derived parameters, to investigate the ionic toxicity. The groundwater is almost neutral with an average pH of 7.0 (pre-monsoon) and 6.9 (post-monsoon). The EC value varies from 562 (pre-monsoon) and 419 (post-monsoon) μS/cm. TDS range from 378 (pre-monsoon) to 360 (post-monsoon) mg/L in the study area. The Piper plot reveals the dominance of Ca$^{2+}$–Na$^{+}$– $${{\rm SO}_{4}^{2-}}$$ , mixed Ca$^{2+}$–Mg$^{2+}$–Na$^{+}$– $${{\rm HCO}_{3}^{-}}$$ types. From the plot in the U.S. Salinity diagram, the water areas are of C$_{1}$–S$_{1}$, C$_{2}$–S$_{1}$ and C$_{3}$–S$_{1}$ types i.e., low salinity and low sodium which is good for irrigation. The values of sodium adsorption ratio indicate that the groundwater of the area falls under the category of low sodium hazard. So, there was neither salinity nor toxicity problem of irrigation water, and hence the ground water can safely be used for long-term irrigation. Considering other derived parameters, it is found that the groundwater of the area is suitable for irrigation purposes. Comparison of our analytical results with the WHO standards of drinking water, indicates that the present waters are also good for drinking purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
