Source apportionment, chemometric pattern recognition and health risk assessment of groundwater from southwestern Punjab, India

Ravishankar Kumar et al.

Summary: This study conducted in southwestern Punjab, India, investigated the groundwater quality in three districts, focusing on the sources, distribution, and potential health risks of chemical contaminants. The research found that fluoride, nitrate, and uranium are major health risk pollutants, with elevated levels found in Bathinda district. The spatial distribution maps indicate that the health risk for Bathinda district inhabitants is higher compared to Barnala and Ludhiana districts.

Assessment of trends and multi-decadal changes in groundwater level in parts of the Malwa region, Punjab, India

Sashikanta Sahoo et al.

Summary: The study found that due to uneven rainfall distribution, most agricultural lands in Malwa region of Punjab, India depend on groundwater for irrigation, with a significant declining trend in GWL observed in most wells from 1997 to 2018, especially in the eastern part. This raises concerns about the future of groundwater resources in the highly groundwater-dependent Malwa region.

Appraisal of groundwater quality and associated risks in Mansa district (Punjab, India)

Tanu Sharma et al.

Summary: The study in Mansa district in South-West Punjab reveals serious contamination of potentially toxic elements, especially arsenic and uranium, in groundwater, posing high cancer risks to local residents. Both children and adults face high non-carcinogenic health risks, with children being more vulnerable. Deterioration of groundwater quality is attributed to both geological weathering and anthropogenic sources.

Isotopes (618O,6D and 3H) variations in groundwater with emphasis on salinization in the state of Punjab, India

Gopal Krishan et al.

Summary: Punjab's agrarian economy is facing challenges due to falling groundwater levels and deteriorating groundwater quality, with increasing salinity being a major concern. Irrigation needs are met by groundwater and canal water, but canal irrigation has led to waterlogging and subsequent salinization, rendering fertile land unproductive in the south-western part of Punjab. Further research is being done to understand the dynamics of groundwater recharge and the effects of evaporation on salinity levels.

Spatio-temporal assessment of groundwater depletion in Punjab, India

Balwinder Singh Sidhu et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the issue of overexploitation of groundwater in Punjab, India, and the government's measures to protect groundwater resources. In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in groundwater consumption, leading to declining water levels and potential reversal in the direction of groundwater flow in certain areas.
