1. Introduction
Globally, waterdependent
terrestrial ecosystems are receiving increased attention due to
growing recognition that water must be available for ever to meet the fast growing
urbanization and industrialization (Münch and Conrad, 2007; Krause et al., 2007). Water of
adequate quantity and most importantly of standard quality is required to meet growing
household, industrial, and agricultural needs. Keeping in view of the importance of water,
several studies have been carried out to evaluate the natural and manmade
phenomena that
govern the chemical composition of groundwater. Generally, the quality of water is
controlled by many factors that include composition of recharge water, geological structure
and mineralogy of the watersheds and aquifers as well as the residence time and reactions
that take place within the aquifer and anthropogenic factors (Drever, 1988; Fetter, 1994;
Appelo and Postma, 2005).
