Present paper deals with a case study of the effect of ground water quality on the health of human beings residing in industrial area near Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India. Water samples were collected from 40 different locations and analyzed for physicochemical parameters such as pH, hard ness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, iron, nitrates, chlorides, sulphates, electrical conductivity, total solids (TS), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and bio chemical oxygen demand (BOD). The found values were compared with the World Health Organisation water quality standards. Based on the physico chemical analysis and correlation studies, it was found that ground water of some of the areas was polluted and not suitable for drinking purpose. Thus the ground water of these areas needs purification before drinking.

Ground water, physicochemical parameters, alkalinity, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, bio chemical oxygen demand.
