Abstract

Ground water quality is the resultant of all the processes and reactions that act on water from the moment it condensed in the atmosphere to the time it is discharged by a well or spring and varies from place to place and with the depth of water table. The major object of present study is to assess the quality of ground water at Alsisar Town and Its Surrounding Area in Jhunjhunu district, which is the only source of drinking water in this semi-arid zone of Rajasthan.Water samples from tube wells, and hand-pumps were collected and analyzed for Physico- Chemical parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), total hardness (TH) and Concentration of ions like Cl-, F-, Nitrate, Sulphate, Sodium and Potassium. The results were compared with drinking water standard of ISI (10500-91) and WHO (1973).
