Hydrogeochemical evaluation of groundwater in Deccan Volcanic Province, Maharashtra, India through GIS and statistical techniques.

ABSTRACT: In the present work statistical techniques and GIS approach has been used to understand the hydrogeochemical evaluation of groundwater and its influencing factors in the region of Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP), Maharashtra, India. A network of 60 groundwater sampling stations was identified by considering geology, geomorphology, land use pattern etc. The groundwater samples were collected subsequently for pre-monsoon (PRM) and post-monsoon (POM) seasons of the year 2022. Hydrochemical analysis include pH, EC, TDS, cations (Ca, Mg, Na, K), anions (CO₃, HCO₃, NO₃, SO₄, Cl, F) were performed by following standard analytical protocols of American Public Health Association (APHA). As per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for drinking, the paramete
