The main purpose of this paper is to improve the sustainability of groundwater resources by identifying the problems and suggesting possible solutions to the over-exploitation of groundwater in Yangon where groundwater usage is increasing due to insufficient water supply from surface water. In the study area, some of the groundwater is extracted from alluvium and valley filled deposit and some of the areas along the Yangon River are affected by saltwater intrusion due to both of over extraction and tidal effect. Ground water quality parameters of pH, EC (Electric Conductivity), TDS (Total Dissolved Solid), TH (Total Hardness), TA (Total Alkalinity), CL (Chloride), Salinity, Turbidity and Fe are accessed in this paper. Using Guidelines of WHO and IS-10500:2012 Guidelines, parameters are compared to access the quality of groundwater. For the assessment of parameters, 15 tube wells are selected at distances of 400m, 600m, 800m, 1000m and 1200m from the river. From 2015 to present, it can be seen that EC value is significantly higher especially in the buffer line of 600m, near Yangon River.
