Abstract:
This study investigates the Monsoon seasonal dynamics of water and soil quality in the vicinity of Hathaikheda Reservoir, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The analysis of surface water quality revealed consistently warm temperatures, colorless and agreeable odor, but elevated turbidity levels indicating the presence of suspended particles. Surface water demonstrated slightly alkaline pH, moderate mineral content, and low levels of trace metals. In contrast, groundwater exhibited lower electrical conductivity but higher mineral content, particularly elevated total hardness. Both water sources showed detectable levels of nitrates and minimal trace metal contamination. The study aims to assess these seasonal variations comprehensively, providing crucial insights for sustainable resource management and environmental conservation in the region.
