Groundwater is almost globally important for human consumption as well as for the support of habitat and for maintaining the river's base-flow. It is usually of excellent quality. Being naturally filtered in their passage through the ground, they are usually clear, colorless, and free from microbial contamination and require minimal treatment. Water quality with respect to path length and abundance of soluble ingredient can be very different in various regions. Quality assessment of groundwater for drinking and irrigation was evaluated in parts of Nanded district of Maharashtra state, India. The overall groundwater quality and the suitability to drinking and irrigation were evaluated by hydrochemical analysis of groundwater samples. The water quality parameters were compared with that of the limits set by World Health Organisation (WHO) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS, 2009) has been considered to assess the suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes and irrigation purposes. Anthropogenic activities are influencing the groundwater quality of the study area.The present study is helpful in proper planning and management of available water resource for drinking purpose. Evaluation of groundwater quality is an important issue to assure from its safe and stable use. However, describing quality conditions is generally difficult considering spatial variability of pollutants and a wide range of indicators (biological, physical and chemical substances) which can be measured.
