摘要：Groundwater samples were collected from 12 locations of Baripada urban area and its surrounding settlements to analyze their quality so as to ascertain their suitability for drinking and agricultural use. In addition to TDS (total dissolved solids) and TH (total hardness), the concentration of several ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3-, Cl- and SO42- were measured. Analysis results showed that the concentration of Ca2+ and HCO3- is higher in comparison to other ions. The value of TDS and TH and the concentration of major ions are well within their limiting values as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). It is found that the water is completely fit for drinking. Taking into consideration %Na and SAR (sodium absorption ratio), the groundwater is also found to be suitable for irrigation
