Recommendations

From the above conclusive results, it is recommended that:

1. Groundwater of most sector/areas is suitable for human consumption and other domestic uses, except at Dhok Tarlai, Dhok Farash, and Dhok Chapran and in some sites of sectors I-8 and I-9/4. Aquifers underlain these areas/sectors contain saline groundwater.

2. It is further recommended that a wellhead protection plan must be undertaken in those areas where the quality of groundwater is being deteriorated from surface pollution.

3. A groundwater well field is recommended to establish in any of these Sectors G-7, G-8, G-9, H-8, H-9, Dhok Pandori and Saknal to abstract an excellent quality of groundwater.

4. In newly design tube-wells, upper part of the aquifer and/or aquifer No. 1 in the series of stratified confined aquifers must be sealed with the M.S. Pipe (blind pipe) to reduce the risk of groundwater contamination.
