Multi-dimensional Assessment of Groundwater Quality Correlating with Textile Mills in Faisalabad City, Pakistan

This research examines groundwater quality in terms of its appropriateness for drinking and agricultural use, the possible human health hazards associated with arsenic exposure, the role of industries in contaminating groundwater, and their impact on the surrounding community. The drinking water assessment includes the examination of physical and chemical parameters to determine compliance with national and international standards. The study emphasizes the requirement for efficient groundwater management and monitoring to guarantee its safe and long-lasting usage for agricultural and drinking reasons. Observing the hydrogeochemical properties helps scientists to thoroughly understand groundwater pollution. Twenty-two samples were collected from the district of Faisalabad city in Punjab, Pakistan. This study aimed to investigate groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characteristics in Faisalabad city. Groundwater samples were collected from various wells and boreholes and were analyzed using various analytical techniques to determine their physical and chemical properties. The results of the study were then used to identify potential sources of contamination and to assess the overall quality of the groundwater. In addition, the study evaluated the hydrogeochemical processes that affect the area's quality and availability of groundwater.
