This study focused on the determination of physico-chemical characteristics of the open well water samples of Manoharthana Block of Jhalawar District. With the help of standard methods, we assessed the seasonal results of Manoharthana Block. Sampling was done during three seasons (summer, rainy and winter) throughout the one year from 30 villages of this block (November, 2010 to October, 2011). The physico-chemical parameters like pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, total hardness and concentrations of ions like chloride, fluoride, nitrate and sulphate were analyzed to know the present status of the open well water quality. The results were compared with the drinking water standards of ISI (10500-91) and WHO (1973). It was found that the open well water was contaminated at few sampling sites. The remaining sampling sites shows physicochemical parameters within the water quality standards and the quality of water is good and it is fit for drinking purpose.
