Description The reservoir at Tilaiya Dam in the Jharkhand state of India is one of the most important
freshwater sources in the region. The water of the reservoir is primarily used for domestic, drinking, and
irrigation. Water quality of the reservoir was monitored at five locations during pre-monsoon, monsoon, and
post-monsoon seasons in 2017-2018 to understand spatiotemporal variation and also, the suitability of water
for existing uses. A hydro-geochemical analysis of reservoir water was undertaken with the help of Piper
Diagram, Schoeller-Berkaloff diagram, Stiff diagram, U.S Salinity Laboratory diagram, Water Quality Index,
Salinity Index, Sodium Percentage, Sodium Absorption Ratio, Magnesium Hazard, etc. The hydrochemical
facies in the present study showed that water was of Ca-HCO3 water type. Factor analysis revealed two
predominating factors, both geogenic in nature, that influenced reservoir water quality, accounting for 81.992 %
of the variance in data. Slight variation in water quality was observed with time and space but it was nonsignificant
statistically. Water Quality Index had increasing trends at three sites from monsoon to pre-monsoon
through post-monsoon and winter seasons. The study revealed that the water of the reservoir is good and
suitable for drinking, domestic use, irrigation, and industry in all the seasons during 2017-18.
