Evaluation reveals groundwater is marginal for irrigation in Baramati, indicating a need for ongoing management and assessment.

To evaluate groundwater quality and suitability for irrigation in Baramati Tehsil using multiple parameters.
Analyzed 15 physicochemical parameters from samples collected during pre- and post-monsoon seasons.
Utilized the CCME-WQI along with SAR and USSL classification methods for assessment of water quality.
Conducted Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare WQI values between seasons.
Groundwater quality was primarily in marginal condition with mean WQI values of 56.64 ± 8.28 (pre-monsoon) and 54.79 ± 7.93 (post-monsoon).
Significant decrease in WQI values after monsoons indicating limited improvement post-recharge (p < 0.05).
Most samples classified in low to medium sodium hazard (S1-S2) but predominantly high salinity (C3-C4) for irrigation.
