Abstract

Pollutants in groundwater can occur naturally or they can be introduced by various anthropogenic sources of pollution. Both point and non-point sources of pollution affect the quality of surface as well as ground water. As water infiltrates, solute concentrations are typically low. But after penetration their spatial extent follows a regional pattern that needs to be examined in detail. Hence, spatial pattern of important parameters of ground water quality obtained from secondary observation well data in case of Betwa river catchment has been presented in this paper. An overview of various sources of pollution from agriculture, industries and towns and their potential effect is also reflected.
