摘要:Hydrochemical investigations of Sukhna wetland and adjoining ground water regime have been carried out. Total thirty two samples were collected including surface and ground water samples both from the study area and were analyzed for pH, EC, TDS, hardness, calcium, sodium, potassium, alkalinity (in terms of carbonates and bicarbonates), chloride, sulphate, phosphate, nitrate and silica. All the parameters were found well within the desirable and permissible limits of BIS (1991) and WHO (2006). The different irrigation parameters i.e. percent sodium, SAR, RSC, Magnesium ratio and Corrosivity ratio were calculated and further interpretation shows that the surface and ground water of Sukhna wetland and nearby areas is good for irrigation purpose. Ca2+- Mg2+- CO32- - HCO3- is the dominant hydrochemical facies in the water chemistry of study area, which is identified through piper diagram. The water quality of Sukhna wetland and its adjoining ground water regime is almost similar and it is fit for the agricultural, industrial and domestic use. Keywords: Hydrochemical, surface water, groundwater, irrigation, Sukhna wetland.
