In this present study we focus on agricultural soils with physical and chemical properties. Soil samples were collected from three different depth viz., 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm from agriculture land and also from six different locations covering Kyunja Gad Watershed, district Rudraprayag (Uttrakhand) India during the month of January to December 2016. Part of analysis contain in soil texture (sand 83.70% to 99.61%, silt 1.89 % to 13.74 % and clay 0.11-2.93%), water holding capacity (23.8% to 33.04%), pH (6.6 to 7.4), Carbon (0.56% to 0.82%), potassium (112-190.4 kg-ha). phosphorous (27.3 Kg/hectare to 41.7 Kg/hectare) and Sulfur ranged from 14.58 ppm to 18.38 ppm. Physiochemical results showed that agriculture soil of study area had nutrient rich.

Total 7 springs water samples were collected from Kyunja Gad Watershed. Spring water samples collected in winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon seasons of the year 2016 were analyzed for various water physico-chemical characteristics, viz. pH, DO, temperature, Turbidity, Electrical conductivity, Total dissolved solids, Chloride, Total hardness, Fluoride, Nitrate, Sulfate and Iron. The analyses was done according to standard methods for water examination and reported based on the WHO prescribed limit for drinking water. The Result showed the variations of the analyzed parameters in water sample as follows: Turbidity 0.01-1.4 NTU; pH 6.2-8.0; DO 5.19-15.24 mg/l; TDS 31-199 mg/l; Electrical conductivity 61.5-397 μs/cm; Total hardness as 20-176 mg/l; Chloride 2.5-28 mg/l; Nitrate 0.5-10.3 mg/l and Iron 0.1-1.2 mg/l respectively. The analyzed physio-chemical parameters of water samples from all the 7 springs were permissible limit of APHA/ WHO/ BIS 10500: 2012 water quality guidelines.
