Abstract : The monitoring was carried out to ascertain the ground water quality at selected villages i.e. Pathara, Paldev, Guptagodawari, Satianusuya, Rajaula, Chitrakoot Busstand, Ramghat, Kamta Basti, Nayagawa and Hanumandhara during winter, Year 2014. Colour, odour, temperature, turbidity, total suspended solids, total dissolve solids, pH, EC, salinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, residual chlorine, chloride, total alkalinity, fluoride, nitrate and iron parameters were selected for above study. The Analyses of above mentioned parameters were done as per the standard methods for examination of water and wastewater (APHA-AWWA, 2005). The results of study were compared with the drinking water quality standards as prescribed by WHO (2011). The concentration of total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, chloride, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, total hardness and alkalinity was revealed due to abundant availability of dolomite rocks and lime stone in the study area. The results of the analysis showed that water is not fit for potable without filter and treatment and good for irrigation and other domestic purposes.

Keywords : Ground Water Quality, Alkalinity, Total hardness, Nitrate, Fluoride, Iron
