GIS Integrated Ground Water & Sewage Analysis

Abstract

Groundwater is a natural resource for various human needs. It can be a major source for domestic and non-domestic use in any institution. The groundwater quality depends on percolation of rainwater and polluted water generated in an area, into the soils. The quality of ground water may not be potable in many cases. The freshwater demand could be met by demand management and reuse of treated sewage. The possible sewage reuse is emerging as potential source for demand management after essential treatment. In the paper an attempt is made to assess the quality of ground water based on BIS standards of water for domestic use. Also, the sewage water generated in the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is checked for its use for gardening use & possible ground water recharge. The results show that the ground water quality is good and satisfies drinking water standards. Also, the sewage from the treatment plant of REVA satisfies the quality standards for its use for irrigation or gardening purpose and possible ground water recharge in the campus. The GIS integration is also made for ground water & sewage water quality parameters
