Access to safe and clean water is vital for human health and well-being. The objective of this study is to analyze the physico-chemical properties of water in Aragahi area of Ramchanderpur block of Balrampur district of Chhattisgarh. Understanding the quality and characteristics of water in this region is essential to assess its suitability for various purposes including drinking, agricultural use and industrial applications. The study focused on key physico-chemical parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, alkalinity, hardness and concentrations of major ions such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and zinc. Sulphate. These parameters provide information about the chemical composition, overall quality and potential effects of water on human health and the environment. Water samples were collected from different depths of pond sources, which represent commonly used water sources in the Aragahi region. The samples were analyzed using standard methods in the laboratory. pH was measured using a pH meter, EC and TDS were determined using a conductivity meter, turbidity was assessed using a turbidimeter, alkalinity was measured through titration methods, and hardness was determined. Was done. Preliminary findings show that the water in the Aragahi area is slightly alkaline, with pH values ranging between 7.2 to 8.5. EC and TDS values suggest varying degrees of mineralization, indicating the presence of dissolved salts. Turbidity level refers to the clarity of water, which ranges from low to medium. Alkalinity values suggest the buffering capacity of water against changes in pH. Hardness levels vary, indicating the presence of calcium and magnesium ions. The concentrations of major ions vary, reflecting the geological and hydrological characteristics of the area. The results of this study provide valuable information about the physico-chemical properties of water in Aragahi area of Balrampur district of Chhattisgarh. These findings can be used by local officials, water management agencies, and community stakeholders to assess water quality, implement appropriate treatment measures, and ensure sustainable use of water resources. Furthermore, this study contributes to the existing knowledge on water quality in Chhattisgarh and serves as a baseline for future research and monitoring efforts in the region. It is important to understand the physico-chemical properties of water in the Aragahi region to ensure availability of safe and clean water for various purposes. It supports efforts to protect public health, promote sustainable water management practices, and protect the environment in Balrampur district of Chhattisgarh.
