The Urla Industrial Area (UIA) is situated in Raipur district, Chattisgarh India, started its growth from 1980’s decade in the Peripheries of urban centre. It is located in towards right flank of Kharun river of Mahanadi drainage system and positioned nearly south western part in the Chattisgarh Sedimentary Basin (CSB) where entire area is underlain by limestone belonging to Chandi formation of Chhattisgarh Supergroup due to Karstic nature of limestone with dissolution of groundwater it generates the sinkholes, grykes, solution cavities, fissures and underground conduits etc. constituting the aquifer zones. Earlier no referable works has been made to evaluate the quality of the water in this limestone terrain. An attempt has been made to carry out the quality of surface and groundwater for domestic and industrial purposes. The water samples from Ponds/ Streams/ Dugwells and Tubewells were chemically analysed, adopting the standard method for examination of water standard procedures of APHW-AWW methodologies. The study reveals that all the water samples of this Urla Industrial Belt (UIB) have been found suitable for domestic purposes. The total hardness (TH) of waer samples varies from 28 to 212 ppm. Other chemical constituents elements {Na}^+, { K}^+, F^-, {Cl}^-,{NO}^{3-},{SO}^{4-},{HCO}^{3- }and {CO}^3ion concentrates falls within the standard norms and specifications for domestic and industrial purposes.
