The present study analyses physico-chemical parameters of 14 groundwater samples collected pH, electrical conductivity(EC), Alkalinity, Total dissolved solids(TDS), Biological oxygen demand(BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total hardness(TH), Turbidity, Calcium(Ca2+), Magnesium(Mg2+), sodium(Na+ ), Potassium(K+ ), Bicarbonates(HCO3 - ), Sulfate(SO4 - ), Nitrate(NO3 - ), Chloride(Cl- ), Fluoride(F- ), Iron to analyse groundwater quality. Based on these parameters water quality index (WQI) has been calculated for classifying the area into excellent, good, poor, etc. It ranges from 19.99 to 79.30. it has been classified under poor category. This study aims to provide useful input to the strategy makers for judicious ground water management especially for the areas where ground water has been estimated unfit for human consumption without proper treatment.
