Assessment of Groundwater Quality and Stability in Tehsil Shakargarh, Narowal District: Implications for Human Health and Long-Term Storage

Abstract

Seven groundwater samples were analyzed in order to create a database on the quality of water used in various locations in the Tehsil Shakargarh district of Narowal. To establish the precise amount of different chemicals present in water, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of water samples from various locations was performed. The groundwater samples were collected from the primary water sources that the majority of people drank from. The results of many parameters, such as COD, BOD, heavy metals, Na⁺, K⁺, NO^3-, SO₄^-2, etc., show that groundwater samples collected from areas of Narowal district were found to be suitable for human health and also physically and chemically stable, and can be stored for a long time.
