Abstract

Water samples of ground water from 10 tube-wells were collected for physico-chemical characteristics as per standard methods of analysis. Most of the parameters are correlated with one another. The data obtained are summarized in Table-I which depicts the suitability of ground water of this area for drinking and domestic purposes. The studies also reveal (i) Ca-SO4, (ii) Mg-SO4, (iii) Ca-Mg-HCO3, (iv) Ca-Mg-SO4 and (v) Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4 types of combinations of ground waters. It is, therefore, suggested that precautionary measures have to be taken to avoid further deterioration in the quality of ground water.
