The increase in population has led to a growing demand for clean water. Groundwater is one alternative source of water supply to meet the demand for clean water is growing. It is use for domestic and industrial water supply and irrigation worldwide [1]. In addition, groundwater is used for drinking purposes must be ensured guaranteed quality and free from contaminants. Furthermore, technology has led to the build quality of groundwater contaminated with chemicals that leach into the soil surface resulting in reduced water quality and not safe to use without treatment. Therefore, the groundwater quality must also be constantly monitored to ensure that the water is safe to use[2]. The main concept of conservation of water resources need to be implemented to overcome the crisis of fresh water.
