    The sustainability of ecosystems and human resilience to changing and unpredictable climates are both impacted by groundwater, the world's biggest distributed freshwater storage system. Groundwater supplies can shift, nevertheless, due to abstraction, changes in land use, and climate change. Many traditional methodologies, such as targeted numerical approaches, have been suggested for groundwater modelling as potential answers to these problems. Preprocessing, feature selection, and training the model are the three stages that make up the suggested method. In pre-processing, the proposed approach addressed the null values, sparsity problem, and missing values to get the data ready for testing. In this stage, the proposed system apply a feature selection strategy that combines KM clustering with CFS ranking to deal with the high dimensionality of the input data. The suggested method relied on the Residual GAT for model training. Compared to state-of-the-art alternatives like GAT and LSTM, the proposed model typically achieves a better accuracy rate of 91.62%.
  • An implication of enhanced rock weathering on the groundwater quality: A case study from Wardha Valley Coalfields, Central India
    Priyadarshan S. Ganvir, Rajeeva Guhey
    Weathering and Erosion Processes in the Natural Environment, 2023
    The root of the groundwater contaminations in and around various coalfields lies over a gray area, which needs thoughtful consideration. The Wardha valley coalfield is no exception to it. The Wardha valley coalfield encircles the major coal reserve of central India and since many decades is under the process of excavation. The influence of the coal mining over the local groundwater regime cannot be misjudged. The prime motivation of the present study is to assess the hydro-geochemistry and to understand the respective regulatory mechanism. The endeavor also attempts to elucidate the causal relationship of enhanced rock weathering due to anthropogenic activities with the corresponding groundwater quality in and around the study area during 2019. In the analyzed groundwater, the CaMgCl facies was found to be the principal hydro-geochemical facies along with the ascendency of strong acids over weak acids. The dominance of the strong acids is justifiable by the predominance of SO 4 2− and is also reflected in the Piper plots. Concurrently, in the proximity of active coalmines, the metals viz. Cd, Fe, Ni, and Pb were found to be surpassing the desired limits in the sampled groundwater. Accordingly, the sources were approximated by the PCA (Principal Component Analysis). The migration of these metals from the natural setting to the groundwater and causing contamination can be attributed to the acidic nature of the solvent. The Gibbs plot has revealed the rock-water interaction as the key regulatory process for groundwater chemistry. A catalytic process could be held accountable for the enhanced rock-water interaction, which is nothing but the exposure of otherwise concealed rock strata during the coal excavating course; eventually, accelerating the weathering process. Such enhancement in the natural setup causes the influx of elements into the drainage during the rock-water interaction causing acidity and consequent metal contaminations in it. The conjecture has also been backed by the petrographic evidences including the prevalence of pyrite and ferrous mineralization in the cementing material of the Barakar sandstone shale and Kamthi sandstone respectively of the Gondwana supergroup.
  • Hydro-geochemical elucidation and its implications in the Wardha valley coalfields of central India
    P S Ganvir, Rajeeva Guhey
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2022
    The performed endeavour is to elucidate the hydro-geochemistry of the groundwater in the Wardha valley coalfield of central India. Being a coalfield of well-appreciated coal exploiting region, many studies has also disclosed the prevailing contamination issues in the same. The study is motivated to understand the groundwater chemistry and its possible implications in contamination prevalence. The measured hydro-geochemical parameters from 45 groundwater samples have manifested the rock-water interaction as a controlling mechanism with the dominance of CaMgCl facies to the extent of 67 % to 81 % in pre- and post-monsoon respectively. The hydro-geochemical facies analysis specified the ascendency of strong acid (SO4 2--Cl--NO3 -) over weak acids (HCO3 -). Such domination not only lowers the pH of the groundwater but also provide an encouraging hydro-geochemical situation for contaminations. To mitigate the contaminations like of heavy metals in and around coalfields, the pre-deliberations of such hydro-geochemical studies should be much anticipated and the present study is in agreement to it.
  • Geochemical Studies of some Heavy Metals’ Toxicity in Groundwater with their Plausible Sources around Gondwana Supergroup, Wardha Valley Coalfields, Maharashtra
    P.S. Ganvir, Rajeeva Guhey
    Journal of the Geological Society of India, 2021
    The study is designed for groundwater assessment in terms of some sorted heavy metals’ toxicity and their probable source in Wardha valley coalfields, Maharashtra. For both seasons, 45 groundwater samples were collected separately to assess Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn by AAS. Among them, 22 were found contaminated as per BIS (2012) concerning Cd, Fe, Ni and Pb. The major contributors in both seasons were Fe, Zn, Cu and Al. The PCA study has shown sound relationships among Fe-Ni, Cd-Ni, and Al-Cu-Zn. The contamination intensities in various samples indicates that the mining region as a prime cause. The Kamthi and Barakar formations in the study area were considered as a contamination source. The significant role of lower pH environment in enhanced contamination was revealed in the correlation analysis. Accordingly, the probability of acid mine drainage was supposed. The EPMA and SEM-EDS/X studies reveal the presence of sulphide phases in Barakar Formation and sulphur in associated carboniferous strata confirming the source of lower pH. Accordingly, the acid mine drainage was anticipated to be responsible for heavy metals’ dissolution and migration to groundwater in mining areas.
  • Groundwater quality assessment with reference to some heavy metals toxicity and its probable remediation around Ballarpur area of Wardha valley coalfields, Maharashtra
    P S Ganvir, R Guhey
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
    Wardha valley coalfields are one of the major coal contributors in central India. The present study strives to assess the groundwater quality around Ballarpur area of Wardha Valley Coalfields concerning some heavy metals. 14 groundwater samples were taken for each pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season to assess Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni, and Zn by AAS. Results disclosed that Cd, Fe, Pb and Ni were above the maximum permissible limit as per the Bureau of Indian Standards (2012). Fe, Zn, Cu and Al are the major percentage contributor in groundwater samples for both seasons. Shallow aquifer is more contaminated than deep. The PCA study has shown strong associations among a few heavy metals. The correlation coefficient study revealed that all heavy metals negatively correlate with pH values suggesting that contamination is favored in acidic water. Sampling locations and corresponding values imply mining activity as an influential cause for contamination. Hence, Acid Mine Drainage could cause a lower pH in the study area, augmenting heavy metals dissolution. To overcome, a flow system of anaerobic wetland and limestone drain could be a remedial method which will treat the mine discharge and mitigate the contamination.
