Guntur Industrial Complex is considered the one of the source of pollution in Guntur city. Industrial by-products including gas, solid and liquid wastes are being released continuously in the region, affecting not only the health of people, but also agriculture and environment in the vicinity. There is lack of proper studies addressing the industrial environmental pollution in the industrial area of Guntur city. The major objective of this work is to highlight and provide an overview of harmful environmental impacts of Guntur industrial estate on ground water quality of Guntur city. This work represents an impact of physico-chemical pollutants and heavy metals like Ni, Zn, Cr, Cd and Pb on ground water. Ground water was collected from seven sampling stations on a monthly basis for two consecutive years within the target area to describe the effect of Guntur industrial complex on ground water. The results showed that the concentrations of these elements were higher than the permissible limits in areas close to the industries. It was also identified that the dominant cations and anions were Na+ > Mg2+>Ca2+ > K+ and Cl- >PO3-4 >NO-2 >F- respectively. From this study it was clear that a detailed investigation of the ground water regime was strongly recommended.
