As the surface water in northern India is the main water resource for regional economic and also supply for drinking and irrigation purposes. However, deficiency of water quality leads to serious water pollution in the Pandoh river basin (PRB). Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to evaluate the quality of surface water. With this objective, surface water samples were collected from the PRB of northern India, and analyzed for pH, EC, turbidity, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, and total hardness. Moreover, geographical information system (GIS) tools were used to prepare the geology, drainage pattern, and location maps of the study region. Surface water quality observed from the PRB has an alkaline nature with a moderately hard type. Further studies are encouraged to better understand the water quality in northern India.

由于印度北部的地表水是区域经济的主要水资源，也是饮用和灌溉的供应源。然而，水质的不足导致了潘多河流域（PRB）的严重水污染。因此，本研究的主要目的是评价地表水的质量。为此，从印度北部的 PRB 收集地表水样品，并分析 pH、EC、浊度、碱度、总溶解固体和总硬度。此外，地理信息系统（GIS）工具被用于准备研究区域的地质、排水模式和位置​​图。从 PRB 观察到的地表水质呈碱性，中等硬度。鼓励进一步研究以更好地了解印度北部的水质。
