Hardness in groundwater could simply be treated by Heating the water to a considerable temperature. Chlorination and Distillation could also be applied to groundwater hardness treatment.
Temporary hardness of water: CaHCO3, MgHCO3 Permanent hardness of water: CaSO4, MgSO4
Hardness in water is usually characterised as temporary or permanent. Both are due to the presence of calcium or magnesium ions. If they are present as the hydrogen carbonate, when the water is boiled this is converted to the carbonate which precipitates out as a solid, leaving water which is no longer hard, so this is called temporary hardness. If they are present as the sulfate the solution is unaffected by boiling, and this is called permanent hardness.
As per W.H.O the limit for hardness in water is in between (60-11)mg/L....
Presence of bicarbonates of chlorides or sulphates of calcium or magnesium in water are the main causes of hardness of water.

Dissolved minerals in the water. In most cases it is better to water your garden with hard water instead of treated water. The plants typically like the minerals found in hard water.
Magnesium sulfate (MgSo4) does not cause hardness of water.
Salt is sometimes used to remove water hardness. Borax and soda are generally used as well to remove water hardness.

There are many steps. First, the water is screened for large debris. Then, it's treated with sodium to reduce hardness. After that, the pH is adjusted, then the water is made clear by flocculation, a clearing process.
The water supplier can provide you the details on hardness level if you are on municipal water systems, If you are using private water then you can get tested in laboratories. You can even measure it with water hardness testing kits which you need to purchase.

There are two ways to help control water hardness: use a packaged water softener or use a mechanical water softening unit. Packaged water softeners are chemicals that help control water hardness.
Yes. it causes temporary hardness of water, which can be generally removed by boiling water.
Hardness of water can be removed with a water softener. These devices pump the water through salt to remove minerals and other particles.
