Quality of water is an important criterion for evaluating the suitability of water for drinking, domestic work and irrigation purpose whereas the quality of surface / ponds as well as ground water depends on various chemical constituents and their concentration. Ponds water sample were collected from nine prominent ponds in Bemetara town of Chhattisgarh State and analyzed for various physico-chemical characteristics like temperature, colour, Turbidity, pH, Electrical conductivity, Total alkalinity, Chloride, Total Hardness, Calcium ion, Magnesium ion, Total dissolved solid, Fluoride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Dissolved oxygen, BOD considering all three season (summer, rainy and winter) and observe values were compared with standard values recommended by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Out of these nine ponds Pikari talab, Mohbhatha Talab and Kobia Chhoti Talab are most polluted. All these nine water bodies are not suitable for domestic and drinking purposes; proper management and monitoring is necessary to its use for human society.
