Groundwater refers to all water occupying the pores and fissures within geological formations, which originated from atmospheric precipitation either directly by rainfall infiltration or indirectly from rivers, lakes or canals. The chemical, physical and biological condition of groundwater determines its usefulness for various purposes. The groundwater is extensively used and the exploitation of it disturbs the state of equilibrium of aquifer and disturbs the hydrological cycle, some wastewater find their way in to a river causes depletion of oxygen of water which leads to deterioration of water quality. In the present study it is identified that major pollution of groundwater because of stagnant water of Wainganga River which is highly polluted. The higher concentration of TDS, chlorides, nitrates, total hardness were found and depletion of oxygen shows pollution of groundwater of the locality near Wainganga River District Bhandara.

Groundwater, stagnant, exploitation, pollution.
