The objective is to explore the seasonal trends in Musi
River groundwater at various sampling stations in the Musi River command area.
A total of ten parameters were analyzed of river groundwater during pre and
post-monsoon in two years respectively 2020-21. The results were a drop in
water quality with seasonal trends among the sites. The data have been compared
with the health-based guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO),
increase in pollution load during the rainy season indicated the increase in
organic matter in river water during the season due to an increase in
anthropogenic interferences of the surrounding areas.
Except for fluoride, every parameter in the data analysis
displayed in Table 11 has a high standard deviation. This is proof of seasonal
variation and wastewater discharge variation.
According to Table 10's data analysis, there is a stronger
association between post-monsoon This demonstrates how the monsoon water was
added and how it seeped into the groundwater.
The following tables, which show the findings, are
corresponding to 12, 13, 14, and 15.
According to WQI, the water is getting worse in quality.
Seasonal changes and partially or fully treated industrial wastewater discharge
are to blame for this.
