Lower rainfall coupled with higher evapotranspiration leads to enhanced salinity and inorganic contamination of
groundwater in arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, 100 groundwater samples were collected from a part of
the Thar Desert of India and analysed for various physico-chemical water quality parameters for quality assurance
for potable
water supply. The electrical conductivity of the samples showed an ion-enriched aquifer environment with
high alkalinity. The concentration of Na+, SO42
