Abstract Groundwater is an essential source for drinking purposes; hence, a qualitative analysis necessary groundwater resources. This study aims to assess the impacts of dynamic land use cover (LULC) and climatic conditions on quality purposes. The investigative research used water index (WQI) analyze identified using LULC map conditions. It extends integrated combined approach different aspects. provides comprehensive understanding how various factors influence quality. total area classified as excellent, good, poor, very unfit consumption based WQI. results concluded that only 10.17% has excellent quality, 19.97% good 9.013% 5.73% have poor respectively, 55% consumption. indicated areas with agricultural expansion, urban development, some natural such topographic features high soil erodibility led dissolved solids, electrical conductivity levels, heavy metals. main lead contamination include expansion development. On other hand, conditions, variations in temperature precipitation, also influenced aids examining perspectives, which will lend hand managers make suitable decisions sustainable development plans conserve economically important region.
