摘要：Groundwater is one of the most precious natural resource that needs to be protected from deterioration. Seepage of industrial and extensive pumping has caused serious qualitative and quantitative problems in the aquifer. Therefore, hydro-chemical investigation was carried out to understand the groundwater quality through the use of WQI approach in Sindh Industrial Trading Estate area, Karachi, Pakistan. Samples were collected and analysed for major ions (Cations and Anions). Water quality range was calculated to quantify overall groundwater quality. This study suggested that most of the groundwater samples of the area are having non-consumable quality standards due to effective leaching of industrial effluent and over exploitation of groundwater.
