Groundwater is a vital resource that is susceptible to contamination from various anthropogenic sources. This research investigates the impact of soil contamination of groundwater quality across diverse localities in Bhopal, aiming to comprehend the potential risks posed to this vital water resource. Bhopal, a rapidly growing urban center, faces escalating concerns regarding soil pollution due to industrial activities, urbanization, and agricultural practices. This research investigates the intricate relationship between soil contamination and groundwater quality in various localities of Bhopal. Soil and groundwater samples were collected from distinct regions, and a battery of tests was conducted to assess parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and concentrations of heavy metals including Mn, Hg, Cd, Pb, and Cr. The findings reveal substantial variations in soil and groundwater characteristics across the sampled sites. Alkaline soils, exemplified by a pH of 8.7, were identified, suggesting the potential for elevated groundwater pH in certain areas. Concurrently, the analysis of heavy metal concentrations in soil and groundwater samples demonstrated a spatial correlation, with elevated levels in specific localities indicating potential pathways of contamination. Notably, localities such as Govindapura Industrial area, Hamidia Road, and BHEL area exhibited increased heavy metal concentrations, aligning with higher levels in corresponding groundwater samples, emphasizing the link between soil and groundwater quality. The study also examined electrical conductivity as an indicator of ion content, revealing a correlation between soil and groundwater EC. The variation in other parameters, including Cl-, Mg, Na+, K+, and hardness, further underscored the diverse influences on water quality. By adopting an integrated approach, incorporating multi-parameter assessments and community engagement, this research provides a foundation for sustainable water management practices tailored to the unique challenges posed by different localities in Bhopal.
