摘要

This study evaluates groundwater reliability for irrigation near the Bhuasuni waste dump site, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, using collected samples from ten locations. Water quality indicators, namely electrical conductivity, pH, total solid in dissolved, and levels of specific ionic species such as nitrate, chloride, fluoride, sulfate, calcium, magnesium, total hardness, sodium, and potassium, were measured following the American Public Health Associations’ guideline. Water quality assessment tools, like the water quality index, sodium adsorption ratio, magnesium absorption ratio, soluble sodium percentage, Kelly ratio, magnesium to calcium and sodium to calcium ratios were computed to assess suitability for agricultural use. The prevalence of major ionic species has followed the order, potassium < magnesium < sodium < calcium and fluoride < nitrate < sulfate < chloride, respectively. Water quality indicators for all samples, except those from the Nuasahi location, were in compliance with guidelines established by the Indian standard agency (2012). Notably, Nuasahi exhibit elevated levels of most cations and anions, indicating potential contamination. Most of the sites were safe for farming, but 20% of the samples from Nuasahi and Ambabari had high electrical conductivity values (750–2250 µS/cm), which means they were not good for most crops. The investigation reveals that, subsurface water within the research region possesses qualities fit for use in agriculture, regional pollution—particularly near the waste disposal site—poses a risk. Continued monitoring and strategies like building specialized solid waste collection, recycling systems and landfill leachate treatment systems are recommended to prevent further groundwater degradation and ensure agricultural sustainability.
