Abstract

The chemical characteristics of ground water (well & tube well) in the slum area of Bhoogaon, Wardha district, Maharashtra state has been studied to evaluate the suitability of water for domestic and agricultural purpose. Water samples were collected and analyzed for Temperature, pH, EC, TS, TDS, Turbidity, Total hardness, Total alkalinity, Ca, Mg, DO, BOD, Chloride, Sulphate .The results indicate that most of the ground water samples are of good quality and within the permissible limit prescribed by BIS (1991) for pH, Turbidity, TS, Total hardness, Ca, Mg, Total alkalinity, Chloride, Sulphate.
