The document assesses the irrigation water quality index (WQI) for the Upper Cauvery region in Karnataka, India, based on five water quality parameters: pH, nitrates, chloride, electrical conductivity, and fluoride across 137 locations. It concludes that 97.08% of the sampled water is excellently suitable for irrigation, with 133 samples having a WQI below 150. Methodology involved assigning weights to each parameter based on FAO standards to compute the WQI for different water samples.
