sampling locations in Haryana, categorized into three types: Ground Water
Sample Locations (35), Surface Water Sample Locations (55), and Other
Sample Locations (131), summing up to a total of 221 sampling locations.

A closer look at the map reveals that most surface water and other sampling
sites are positioned in close proximity to the Yamuna and Ghaggar rivers'
drainage basins. This emphasizes the need of keeping an eye on the quality
of the water in these vital streams. Gurugram is noteworthy for having the
greatest number of Ground Water sample points, highlighting the
importance of evaluating the quality of this vital water supply in the area.
However, certain districts like Hisar, Charkhi Dadri, and Mahendragarh do
not have any water quality sampling locations, indicating potential gaps in
monitoring efforts in these areas. Bhiwani, Rewari, and Jhajjar each have
only one Ground Water sample location, highlighting disparities in the
distribution of monitoring infrastructure. Jind, on the other hand, has only
one surface water sample location. Districts such as Panipat, Sonipat,
Gurugram, Faridabad, and Palwal exhibit a notable density of water
sampling locations across all three types, indicating a concerted effort to
comprehensively monitor water quality in these regions.
The map's significance lies in its ability to visually represent the spatial
distribution of water quality sampling locations, enabling policymakers,
environmentalists, and water resource managers to identify areas of focus,
address potential gaps in monitoring efforts, and implement targeted
measures to safeguard and improve water quality in Haryana. It serves as a
valuable tool for informed decision-making and sustainable water resource
management.
