Abstract

The ground water is polluted due to increasing human population and industrial activities. Now a day polluted ground water is a major problem for all livings. Thus the analysis of water quality is very important to preserve the ground water in nature. There are fifteen physico-chemical parameters such as ammonia, pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, TA, and concentration of ion such as chloride, fluoride, nitrate, sulphate, potassium, phosphorus some heavy metal like as Iron and Mn. All water samples collected from 42 different location of North- East Tehsil of Jhunjhunu district. In this study the water samples were found good quality compared to BIS (10500-2012) but fluoride, potassium and sodium values are higher compared to WHO. The interesting point is that Phosphorus, Fe and Mn were not found in any ground water samples. Only fluoride, potassium & sodium are making ground water unfit for drinking.
