Ground Water Quality Assessment for Land Productivity Mapping using GIS Techniques in Shrirampur Tehsil (Maharashtra)
Abstract: In present study the correlation between ground water quality and land productivity was calculated, negative impact of GWQ Index on Land productivity Index is cleared noticed. It is observed that in the villages Kadit BK, Khokar, Karegaon, Matulthan, Khandala, Khanapur and Takalibhan has very low GWQ Index (0 to 2.9) therefore ground water quality is excellent which increased land productivity Index between 220 to 255 but in the village Bhokar, Matapur and Eklahare GWQ Index has been observed (between13-27) therefore water is more polluted which declined land productivity Index 140, 150 and 150 respectively due to extensive use of fertilizers and over irrigation in agriculture and discharge of molasses into the open ground therefore it is the need of the hour that the system of agriculture should be revitalized, for increase land productivity.
