Abstract

The ground water quality of Vansda taluka has been assessed to see the suitability of ground water for irrigation applications. Groundwater samples were collected before and after monsoon in the year 2020-2021 for various water quality characteristics from ten villages of Vansda taluka of Navsari district by using GPS system. The suitability of ground water for irrigation purpose was evaluated based on salinity, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), Magnesium Hazard (MH), Sodium 
percent (%Na), permeability index (PI) and Irrigation water quality index (IWQI). In general the ground water of Vansda taluka is safe for irrigation purpose. Overall in Vansda taluka, 70 % and 45 % surveyed water samples were found falling in no restriction to 
medium restriction category of irrigation during before and after monsoon respectively.
