Groundwater quality assessment in rural districts of Karnataka - A GIS approach

This document deals with the magnitude of the drinking water quality problem which in turn depends on geo-environment and anthropogenic activities. The Rural Development Engineering Department, Government of Karnataka, carried out an analysis of water sources for its quality in rural villages (during 2000-2001). The GIS database has been used (2003-2004) to develop maps showing spatial variation of specific water quality parameters. The overall information on ground water quality in the state is presented in the form of tables for each taluk of each district and a composite table for the entire state.Read More
