The physicochemical properties of groundwater from various locations in Katang Panchayat of Kutra Block of Sundargarh District, Odisha, were analysed by using standard methods. The samples were collected from twenty two different locations revealed that the study area has a mean of, TH value 322.9 mg/l, pH of 7.1, TDS of 485 mg/l, TA of 265.9 mg/l, Electrical Conductivity of 757.9 µmho/cm, K+ of 8.8 mg/l, Ca2+ of 110 mg/l, Mg2+ of 4.6 mg/l, Cl- of 106.4 mg/l and HCO3- of 397 mg/l. The result shows that the TDS value of 31.81% groundwater samples are beyond the acceptable limit. The 45.45% samples show the hardness value beyond the desirable limit. The Ca2+ value of 63.63% of water samples is more than the highest desirable limit. The Gibb's diagram depicts that the chemistry of the water is governed by the rock of that particular area. The predominant facies of that area is Ca ̶ HCO3- type. Piper's plot shows that most of the water samples were of magnesium bicarbonate and calcium chloride type.
