Abstract
Periodic assessment of groundwater quality is highly necessary to be used for human consumption. Twenty eight bore wells samples are collected during January 2014, and selected parameters like pH, Na, K, Ca, Mg, SO4, Cl, NO3, PO4 F, Fe, TDS and turbidity were analyzed as per standard procedure. Most of the samples are highly deviated from their average value. In Statistical technique, strong positive correlation between Na, K, Ca, Mg with TDS and Turbidity with Fe are an indication of common source. According to water classification, most of the samples are not suitable for drinking purpose. Thus, making it unfit for drinking purpose and requires proper treatment like boiling and filtering of water before its consumption.
