Abstract Water is a free gift of nature to human being and its availability in terms of its quality has now become a problem as the fresh water sources are depleting due to increasing demand of population and different pollution sources. The physicochemical parameters of water were analyzed by standard methods. The samples were collected from 5 different water sources of Pampore and have been analyzed for total solids (TS), total alkalinity, Ca hardness, Mg hardness, Chloride (Cl-), dissolved oxygen (D.O) and the result showed that these parameters were ranged from TS (664±7.21 to 1163.33±8.82 mg/L), T. alkalinity (125.33±4.33 to 263±4.36), Ca. hardness (220.67±2.36 to 592.67±2.78), Mg hardness (96.67±5.7 to 187.33±5.21), DO (6.06±0.5 to 8.33±0.10) and Chlorides (2.57±0.14 to 11.27±0.36). Among all these water samples, the water sample taken from bored well from the Karewa fields showed the best results and permissible limit for drinking purposes prescribed by USEPA and WHO and the the present investigation found that the maximum parameters were within range and could be suitable for irrigation purposes. The samples collected from river Jehlum suggested that the rate of pollution is increasing day to day when compared with previous papers.
