Abstract

The groundwater contamination by arsenic is a large-scale pollution in drinking water history. Safe water
supply is a big challenge due to critical hydrogeological situation and water quality problems in this area.
The analytical results show that a range of pH, TDS, chloride, total alkalinity, total hardness, sodium, potassium,
calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron and arsenic were found between 7.50-7.23, 504.00-201.00 mg/L, 90.30-31.43
mg/L, 410.81-174.31mg/L, 616.47-202.97 mg/L, 52.59-13.28 mg/L, 17.13-2.87 mg/L, 108.57-44.53 mg/L, 83.87-22.29
mg/L, 1.78-0.01 mg/L, 11.78-1.45 mg/L, 0.42-0.02 mg/L, respectively. This study will help making a future plan for
groundwater quality monitoring and its hydrogeological application for safe water source identification.

Keywords: Arsenic, groundwater contamination, arsenic mitigation; salinity, water quality.
