This study aims to develop spatial variability maps of groundwater quality parameters within the municipal ward boundary of Jabalpur city and estimates the water quality index (WQI) for the various sources in the city. The spatial variability of groundwater quality is critical for effective water resource management and sustainable development. With the aid of geographical information system (GIS) mapping and analysis methodologies, this research article examines the spatial distribution and variability of groundwater quality in Jabalpur city. For the study, water samples from various landuse types and hydrogeological conditions within the city were collected at different times. The concentrations of significant ions and pollutants were examined in addition to physico-chemical characteristics, like pH, electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids. The characteristics of groundwater quality were spatially visualized using GIS software to produce themed maps throughout the research region. A range of interpolation methods, including inverse distance weighting and kriging, were used to produce continuous surfaces that approximated the distribution patterns of groundwater quality measures. In addition, this study also focuses on the measurement of the WQI for the study area and it was also important to create a thematic map of WQI distribution. The WQI map reveals the water quality status of the city and it also shows that there is a lot of variation in the distribution pattern of WQI throughout the city. This study can help the authorities in policy-making for groundwater usage and the cleanliness programme of the city.
