WHAT THE DATA REVEALS
THE groundwater quality report for 2024 reveals that India's overall drinking groundwater resource is temporarily becoming hard and may not be directly suitable for many industrial purposes. However, over 81% of samples in the country met safe thresholds suitable for irrigation purposes. The northeast region's groundwater quality falls in the excellent category for irrigation.
The report, released on Tuesday by Minister of Jalshakti C R Patil, says the calcium-bicarbonate type dominates India's groundwater, followed by sodium and potassium ions. Some regions face dangerous sporadic contamination of nitrates, fluoride, and arsenic.
