This study has been undertaken to evaluate water quality index that involves analysis of water parameters of ten villages bore well water aroundKakrapar surrounding villages using water quality index method and is calculated through weighted arithmetic method. Tenphysico-chemical parameters are considered from different sampling locations by the methods recommended by WHO drinking water guidelines. The ten parameters for calculation of water quality index are pH, alkalinity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulphate, fluoride. The analysis is followed as per APHA, AERB, Standard methods for the examination of water and waste water and Gujarat Pollution Control Board manual and reference for the permissible limits are considered as per BIS 10500:2012 drinking water specification. Considering monthly sample collected in January, February and March 2019.
