Water quality is considered as a big issue in many cities of developing countries. Bore well water is valuable than surface water but due to different activities done by human being this water is contaminated. And now-a-days this is the grave problem. In those areas of Nanded city where the door to door garbage pickup vehicle brought their garbage, the assessment of the bore well water was carried out. At assessing the water quality index (WQI) and physico-chemical parameters for the ground water of Nanded the present work is aimed. For a physico-chemical analysis, ground water samples of selected location were collected. For calculating the present water quality status the following quality parameters were considered: pH, electrical conductivity, TDS, total hardness, COD, total alkalinity, turbidity, sulphate, chloride. After calculating water quality status of considered parameters, results are compared with IS: 10500-2012. This ground water sample’s physico -chemical characteristics suggest that the evaluation of water quality parameters should be carried out periodically. Water is the most important in shaping the land and regulating the climate. It is one of the most important compounds that profoundly influence life [1]. Water is one of the most important and abundant compounds of the ecosystem. All living organisms on the earth need water for their survival and growth. Groundwater is used for domestic and for irrigation purposes in all over the world. In the last few decades, there has been a tremendous increases in the demand for fresh water due to rapid growth of population and the accelerated pace of industrialization. According to WHO organization, about 80% of all the diseases in human beings are caused by water[2]. Once the groundwater is contaminated, its quality cannot be restored back easily and to device ways and means to protect it. Groundwater plays important role in supplying water to much of the global population for use in agriculture, drinking water, and industrial purposes.
