Is Terminalia Arjuna help to reduce ground water hardness?
if there is any specific standard method to monitoring water hardness ?
Terminalia chebula of Combretaceae family could be helpful in reducing ground water hardiness.
Ground water hardness can also be removed by using seeds of Moringa Oleifera , which is independent of pH and alkalinity of water.
The most effective way to reduce the hardness can grow plants "duck weed". (Known as Egeria densa or water lens or bayroot. They are flowering aquatic plants which float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water and wetlands.)
Not sure what type of application you are looking but some links below:

i try to use the Strychnos potatorum seeds. it was works for some extent. Dear Sakshi, Moringa Oleifera seeds can remove the CaCo3 but when i search the literature, it mention total hardness of the water cannot reduce due to releasing of MgCo3 from plant to water.
