ABSTRACT
Groundwater serves as a critical resource for drinking, irrigation, and industrial purposes in Modasa Taluka, Gujarat. This study analyzes the physico-chemical parameters of groundwater across 10 sampling locations. Parameters such as pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Hardness (TH), Chloride, Fluoride, Nitrate, and Sulphate were examined. Results show that although pH and sulphate remain within permissible limits, fluoride, hardness, and TDS exceeded recommended values at several locations, indicating a need for water treatment and resource management.
