Ground Water Quality Monitoring in Uttarakhand

At Ground Water Company, we specialize in scientific Ground Water Quality Monitoring tailored for the challenging and diverse conditions of Uttarakhand. With deep knowledge of the state’s unique geology, spring systems, and aquifer behavior, we provide end-to-end solutions to track, analyze, and improve groundwater quality – safeguarding health and ecosystems in the hills.

⚠️ Why Uttarakhand Needs Focused Ground Water Quality Monitoring

Uttarakhand’s water sources are heavily dependent on spring systems and shallow aquifers, which are extremely vulnerable to contamination. Rapid urbanization, unregulated tourism, unscientific land use, and lack of proper sewage systems are contributing to groundwater degradation across the state.

🧪 Key Ground Water Quality Issues in Uttarakhand

🚰 Bacterial & Sewage Contamination
– In towns like Nainital, Almora, and Mussoorie, high tourist inflow and inadequate sewage systems result in coliform bacteria and fecal contamination of springs.
– Rural villages face contamination from unlined soak pits, septic tanks, and open defecation near water sources.

🌋 Geogenic Contaminants
– Areas like Pithoragarh, Chamoli, and Bageshwar have natural occurrences of fluoride, iron, and sometimes arsenic in groundwater, making long-term consumption hazardous.

🏞️ Runoff Pollution
– During monsoon, surface runoff carrying fertilizers, waste, and silt enters open wells and springs, especially in lower foothill areas like Dehradun and Haldwani.

🏗️ Unregulated Construction near Recharge Zones
– Hill town expansion without hydrogeological planning is polluting groundwater recharge areas, degrading both quality and quantity of water.
