Abstract:Musi River is flowing through Hyderabad which is having a population of about 6.7 million and a metropolitan population nearly of about 7.75 million, it is the fourth most populous city and sixth most populous urban area in India and its area covers nearly 2219 km2. Due to industrial and urbanization activities resulted in the contamination of the Musi River. To study the influence of contaminated river on groundwater and surface water, 20 water samples were collected from a part of the river flowing area and analyzed for major ions and trace metals. Various widely accepted methods such as Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR), residual sodium carbonate, salinity, soluble sodium percentage, permeability index and water quality index are used to classify groundwater and surface water (stream) for drinking as well as irrigation purposes . Besides this, Piper trilinear diagram, geochemical controls using various statistical parameters, and hydro-geochemistry of groundwater and surface water samples were studied.
Keywords-:Musi River, groundwater and surface water, geochemical.
