Abstract

An investigation was undertaken to study of physiochemical properties of ground water from various places in Deulgaon Raja city. Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in both urban and rural areas of Deulgaon Raja. Ten different locations were selected for the study and physicochemical characteristics are compared. The parameters studied were pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, turbidity, chloride, sulphate, total dissolved solids and conductivity. Observed results were compared with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and World Health Organization (WHO). The ground water quality varies from place to place.
