The groundwater parameters such as turbidity, pH, temrature, electrical conductivity, total hardness, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, sulphate, arsenic, iron, chloride and fluoride were estimated in the samples to evaluate their quality. The data of physico chemical parameters are compared with WHO (1992) and IS: 10500 standards for drinking water. Our result revealed that concentration of DO, BOD, Total hardness, Calcium, magnesium, sulphate, turbidity, alkalinity, phosphate, iron and chloride are within permissible limits and Iron, phosphate are negligible in comparison to permissible limits whereas the concentration of nitrate is higher at sampling areas S2 ,S3 and S5 .
