| Abstract | Groundwater is one of the natural water resources for domestic activities like bathing, washing, drinking,etc.,and agriculture purposes. Due to rapid growth in population, industrialization, urbanization intensive agriculture practices and over exploitation,the quality and quantity of groundwater are deteriorating. The objective of this investigation was to analyze the electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) as water quality parameters. Twentysampling sitesof groundwater of Mathura district were gathered from various sources, including hand pumps and tube wells. According to this study, 40 percentof the sampleswere found within the acceptable limit for drinking, which is 5001000 mg/L as defined by World Health Organization (WHO, 2017) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS, 2012), whilesixtypercentwereabove the allowable limit. Therefore, most samples of the groundwater in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, do not meet the drinking water standards. These results indicate that the quality of water is not suitable for potable and irrigation purposes. Exceeding the suggested TDSthresholds in water can elevate the consumption of detrimental minerals such as lead, arsenic, and fluoride, as well as salts, which can lead to long-term gastrointestinaland cardiovascular problemsafterprolongedconsumption. This research investigation provides insight into the pristine state of ground water quality in the study area andis hence relevant for water quality assessments in various domestic regions. |
