    Abstract

    In the vicinity of Kistapur, 22 samples were obtained from bore wells and examined for pH, acidity, alkalinity, DO, BOD, COD, EC, turbidity, Ca+, mg+, Na+, total hardness, and K+. The test findings are favourable and within acceptable ranges, making it suitable for drinking, residential use, and irrigation. This experiment demonstrated that Ca+ is more abundant than magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Because of the effluents from factories close to the study region, the groundwater is contaminated. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated after a few significant water quality metrics were chosen. So, to assess the quality of groundwater, waters from open wells in and near the industrial region are used. When determining the location of points and the distribution of groundwater, GIS is used, and inverse distance weighting (IDW) is used as an interpolation method. Therefore, it's important to manage the movement of contaminants and ground water pollution in and around the research region.
