Quality Characterization of Groundwater in Parts of Govindaraopet Mandal, Warangal District, Telangana State, India

Govindaraopet Mandal is located in the northern parts of Warangal District, Telangana.28 water samples are collected at various locations covering different lithounits to understand the groundwater chemistry and their suitability for drinking and irrigation purposes. Study of groundwater chemistry in this area indicates that the waters are of Mixed Cationic and anionic Na dominating bicarbonate water, Mixed Cationic Mg dominating bicarbonate water, Mixed Cationic and anionic Ca dominating bicarbonate water, Mixed Cationic Ca dominating bicarbonate water, Mixed Cationic Na dominating bicarbonate water. Graphical treatment of chemical data reveals that, the area has basic water, whereas the chalvai& bollepally area are dominated by secondary alkaline water, and papayyapally and bussapur villages have strongly acidic water. Graphical representation further shows that most of the area has medium salinity�low sodium water useful for irrigation purposes. High salinity-low sodium and high salinity-medium sodium waters are present in some areas.
