Groundwater has been considered as an important source of water supply due to its relatively low susceptibility to pollution in comparison with surface water, and its large storage capacity. It should be mentioned that water pollution is any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing that drinks or uses or lives (in) it. When humans drink polluted water it often has serious consequences on their health. Water pollution can also make water unsuited for the desired use. In this context, an attempt has been made to assess the ground water quality of Ujjain city. Samples were collected from 17 locations of Ujjain city from various ground water sources for summer season and analysed for physico-chemical parameters .The results of analysis were compared with the Indian standards (BIS, IS 10500:1991) of drinking water quality parameters.

Ground water are important sources of drinking water for many communities, especially in rural areas. However, the quality of this water can be impacted by various factors such as natural geological processes, human activities and environment pollution. Therefore, regular analysis of ground water is necessary to ensure its safety and suitability for human consumption. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the methods and techniques used for ground water analysis. The review covers the different parameters that are analysed such as pH, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, total hardness, chlorides, calcium, magnesium, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, sodium, potassium and various types of contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides and organic compounds. Additionally, the paper highlights the significance of water quality on public health and the environment. The observed values of these parameters were compared with the standards given by WHO and ISI. It was found from the present study that there is variation in many physiochemical parameters. Some of the samples were found within the permissible limits of the given standards while some samples are beyond the acceptable values of the standard, indicating that for such samples there is poor potability might be due to contaminations from sewage and other water-soluble pollutants. Hence there need for proper conservation and management of ground water resources, conducting campaign on health awareness and importance water purification among the peoples in such study area before utilizing such poor-quality water for drinking purpose. Overall, this paper highlights the importance of ground water analysis for ensuring the safety and suitability of water for human consumption and suggests that regular testing and treatment can go long way in preventing waterborne illness and environmental pollution.
Water quality is considered as a big issue in many cities of developing countries. Bore well water is valuable than surface water but due to different activities done by human being this water is contaminated. And now-a-days this is the grave problem. In those areas of Indore city where the door to door garbage pickup vehicle brought their garbage, the assessment of the bore well water was carried out. At assessing the water quality index (WQI) and physico-chemical parameters for the ground water of Indore the present work is aimed. For a physico-chemical analysis, ground water samples of selected location were collected. For calculating the present water quality status the following quality parameters were considered: pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, total hardness, COD, total alkalinity, turbidity, sulphate, chloride. After calculating water quality status of considered parameters, results are compared with IS: 10500-2012. This ground water sample's physico-chemical characteristics suggest that the evaluation of water quality parameters should be carried out periodically.
Ground Water Quality in the Industrial Belts of Balasore Town, Odisha
Ground water samples were collected from 12 locations in the Balasore industrial area and its surrounding settlements to analyze their quality, so as to ascertain their suitability for drinking and agricultural use. In addition to TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and TH (Total Hardness), the concentration of several ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, HCO3-, Cl-and SO 4 2-were measured. Analysis results showed that the concentration of Ca2+ and HCO3-was higher in comparison to other ions. The value of TDS and TH and the concentration of major ions were well within their limiting values, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The ground water belongs to fresh water category based on TDS values and from the TH values it may be concluded that most of the samples belong to moderately hard category. It was found that the water was completely fit for drinking. Taking into consideration the percentage Na and SAR (Sodium Absorption Ratio), the ground water was also found to be suitable for irrigation.
Assessment of ground water quality of Hamirpur District, Uttar Pradesh, India
The study was designed to predict the water qualities at different areas of Hamirpur District Uttar Pradesh, India. Physico-chemical parameters were investigated TDS, pH, fluoride, nitrate, chloride, sulphate, hardness and alkalinity. The results were compared with drinking water quality standards prescribed by the Beauro of Indian Standards (BIS). Ground water sampling carried out in January 2014 to April 2014. Most of the water samples were found to have total dissolved solids, alkalinity and hardness values more than their permissible level. The values of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Ni and Co) also determine in collected water samples. The high values of these parameters might have health complications and so they need attention. The above studies are helpful to understand the ground water quality and their subsequent fitness or unfitness of water for drinking domestic purpose at various sites undertaken.
