Seasonal Analysis Of Physico-Chemical Parameters Of Ground Water Samples From Rural Areas Of Karkala Taluk, Karnataka State, India

K.Byrappa, P.G.Smitha, C.P.Sajan

Ground water, especially bore well samples of three seasons from the parts of the western ghats rural areas of karkala taluk, karnataka state, were subjected to physico-chemical analysis and the EC, SAR and RSC values were calculated to decide the suitability of these water sources for irrigation purposes. The results showed that majority of these samples were ‘good’ and a few samples showed higher RSC values indicating the presence of excess amount of bicarbonate ions. Caution has to be practiced while using the waters with high bicarbonate content.
