Drinking Water Characteristics of Ujjain, India @2022

Abstract

Clean drinking water availability and clean sanitation in a small city like Ujjain is one of the biggest challenges of the century. As we know that the average rainfall in Ujjain 943mm (1) and this year it rained about 14.2 inches in monsoon season till now. This led us to search out alternate drinking water sources. Ujjain is rich water city as it has Sapt sagars, River Shipra and Gambhir Dam for drinking water source (2). This year due to lack rain all of them are not filled fully so we analyze ground water in all 54 wards of the city these are all in public places as roads, parks etc. and can be used easily by local people. This report leads us to find the various problems possessed by ground water of Ujjain city.
