Groundwater is an essential and valuable natural source of water supply all over the world. To meet out the rising demand it is crucial to identify and recognize the fresh water resources and also to find out remedial methods for improvement of water quality. So, assessment of ground water quality has always been paramount in the field of environmental quality management. Physico-chemical parameters of groundwater quality based on physic-chemical parameters plays a prominent role in evaluating its suitability for Drinking purpose. The present study deals with the determination of water quality index of Thullur mandal, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, in order to ascertain the quality of Groundwater for public consumption, recreation and other purposes. The samples were collected from all 19 villages of Thullur mandal. The samples were analyzed in the laboratory using standard APHA 1985 procedures. From the analyzed data, WQI has been calculated using Weighted Average method. The variations of water quality on different samples were also discussed.
