Abstract

Groundwater is an essential part of our life support system and a change in the quality of groundwater may affect human health, mapping of groundwater contamination is an important tool for groundwater protection and management. The present study figures out groundwater quality suitability for drinking by adopting Geographical Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) Techniques. The Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) is employed to find the weightage of various parameters and reclassification along with weighted overlay tools in ArcGIS software is used. A total 18 samples of groundwater were collected from different wards of Agartala Municipality and various water quality parameters of collected samples were tested in the laboratory. It was found that only 24.24% of AMC area is having potable groundwater and 75.76% of AMC area is not potable for drinking and iron content in more than 96.25% of area is above permissible limit prescribed by BIS (2012) and WHO (2011) and for pH 22.09% of the area having value less than permissible limit.
