Abstract

The quality of surface water, groundwater, rainwater and commercially available water was talked about based on where the pollution came from. In general, both surface and groundwater are of poor quality. Salt, heavy metals, sewage water, solid waste leachate and hydrogeological groundwater interactions are all causes of groundwater pollution. The municipal water supply is the best drinking water source for the communities of Mathura. This study reviewed findings from decades of research on water quality monitoring and evaluation in Mathura. Future prospects for water quality assessment and evaluation include the identification of emerging contaminants and micro pollutants as well as the implementation of internet-enabled devices. This research will serve to highlight the water quality assessment of Mathura in the study region for bathing, drinking and other industrial uses. Using the multidisciplinary Scopus database, all published research articles (343 total) from the past sixty years were analyzed. The integrative analysis divided the framework into thematic groups and these sections were allocated according to the year of publication, sources of articles, significant contributors and their locations, keywords and numerous other factors. Using the VOSviewer software, a co-authorship network, an inter-country co-authorship network map and a network of keyword co-occurrences were also constructed.

Keywords

Groundwater, Mathura city, Water parameters, Surface water
