aterlogged areas, where the soil remains saturated with water for
extended periods, can significantly impact Ground Water quality.
WConsequently, for efficient water management, it is essential to
comprehend the water quality in these flooded areas of Haryana. Figure 42
displays the Ground Water quality specifically in the central part of Haryana,
which is predominantly waterlogged.
The dark green colour indicates good water quality suitable for irrigation,
covering a small portion of Hansi, Barwala, Bahadurgarh, Kathura, and
Lakhanmajra (Rohtak). The light green colour represents moderate water
quality, useful for specific crops, and covers a small area of Hansi, Barwala,
Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar, and Kharkhoda. The major portion of this category is
found in Lakhanmajra, Sonipat, and Jind.

The orange colour denotes low water quality, which may be suitable for use
after mixing or conjunctive use. It covers a small area of Hansi, Hisar,
Barwala, Bhiwani, Jind, and Bahadurgarh. The primary part of this category
falls within Jhajjar and Rohtak. The red color represents very low water
quality, rendering it unsuitable for agriculture. It covers the areas of Charkhi
Dadri, Jhajjar, Rohtak, and Bhiwani. This information helps identify areas
with different water quality levels within the waterlogged regions of
Haryana, enabling better planning and management of water resources in
these areas.
