B. Patil College, Dhule – 424002, MS, INDIA Patil S.N. 3 > Research Paper 2014 1 24 2014 February 25 Two basins was chosen for hydrogeochemical analysis there is Anjani - Jhiri, which is tributary of Girna River, Girna river is one of the major tributary of Tapi River in Maharashtra state, India. According to quality and suitability of groundwater, 27 groundwater samples collected from Anjani and 13 groundwater samples from Jhiri river basins were studied. Major ion chemistry results reveals that the concentration of Ca2+, Mg 2+ , Na, K, F, Cl, HCO, SO2- and NO from groundwater samples get affected by lithology and anthropogenic influences. Groundwater geochemistry results shows that the (Ca2+and Mg2+) exceeds than (Na+ and K), (HCO) exceeds (Cl, SO2 and NO). In order to trace elements Zn, Fe, Ni, Mn and Cu concentrations were lower, Pb and Cd concentrations were relatively higher than recommended guidelines of WHO and BIS. Assessment of groundwater quality based on graphical representations, piper plot reveals that the groundwater is Ca-Cl-HCO type. Based on the Wilcox diagram groundwater samples falls in C4S1 category, indicates high salinity hazards. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
