Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Water quality is a critical environmental issue that directly impacts human health, ecosystems, and economic activities. This thesis presents an in-depth analysis of water quality and contamination in a specific region from a geological perspective. The study aims to investigate the sources of contamination, assess the quality of water resources, and propose mitigation strategies to address water pollution in the area. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, outlining the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. The chapter sets the foundation for the subsequent chapters by establishing the importance of studying water quality and contamination in the context of geology. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review that synthesizes existing research on water quality assessment, contamination sources, geological factors influencing water quality, and mitigation measures. The chapter critically examines previous studies to identify gaps in knowledge and inform the research methodology. Chapter 3 details the research methodology employed in this study, including data collection methods, sampling techniques, laboratory analysis procedures, and data interpretation. The chapter describes how geological factors were integrated into the study design to provide a comprehensive understanding of water quality dynamics in the specific region. Chapter 4 presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the fieldwork and laboratory analysis. The chapter analyzes the water quality parameters, identifies sources of contamination, evaluates the impact of geological factors on water quality, and discusses the effectiveness of existing mitigation strategies. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between geology and water quality in the study area. Chapter 5 concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing the implications of the research results, and proposing recommendations for future studies and practical interventions. The conclusion highlights the importance of considering geological factors in water quality management and emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches to address water contamination issues effectively. Overall, this thesis provides valuable insights into the analysis of water quality and contamination from a geological perspective. By integrating geological knowledge with water quality assessment, the study offers a holistic approach to understanding and managing water resources in the specific region. The findings of this research contribute to the field of environmental geology and have practical implications for policymakers, water resource managers, and environmental practitioners working towards sustainable water management and pollution control strategies.
