Groundwater quality assessment is crucial for sustainable water resource management and public health protection. This study evaluated the Water Quality Index (WQI) of groundwater in southern part Gujarat focusing on Valsad District. this region occurs porous, unconsolidated formations fracture formations, both under table conditions confined aquifers. Various parameters including Nitrate (NO3¯), pH, Calcium (Ca2+), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Hardness (TH), Magnesium (Mg2+), Dissolved Solids (TDS), Potassium (K+), Sodium (Na+), Sulphate (SO42−), Chloride (Cl¯), Bicarbonate (HCO3¯), Silicate (SiO44−), Fluoride (F¯) were analyzed to assess quality. Results indicate that most fell within acceptable permissible limits drinking water, except Muli Nanaponda villages with Cl¯, EC, TDS exceeding limit. The WQI analysis revealed 31.25% samples from different found excellent category (WQI < 25). About 68.75% 16 classified as good ∼ 25–50). Overall, ranged 14.20 41.98, suggesting district suitable drinking. Piper diagram collected field indicated unique geochemical compositions water. Ca2+ was predominant cation, followed by K+, Na+, Mg2+. Among anions, HCO3− showed highest concentrations, SO42−, NO3−, Cl−. dominance pattern demonstrated weathering minerals significantly influenced groundwater. recommends remediation areas reduced address geogenic anthropogenic contamination.
