Abstract

The present study is aimed to evaluate the hydro chemical characteristics and quality of groundwater. Groundwater samples were collected from selected sampling sites like Shivdaspura (S1), Mansarovar (S2), Tonk Phatak (S3) and Chand pole (S4) in Jaipur District, Rajasthan and analyzed for major physico-chemical parameters. Such as Colour vis, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Bio-Chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Lead, Cadmium, Chloride, Fluoride, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Hardness (TH), Total Alkalinity, Total Solids, Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids, Taste and Odour, Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Magnesium, pH, Nitrate, Calcium, Sulphate Were analysed fora period from 29March 2021 to 09 December 2021. Fluoride content in the water samples of study area varied from 0.57mg/l to 7.97mg/l. Due to the higher fluoride levels in drinking water of Shivdaspura area showing dental fluorosis in which the teeth of the children were damaged and characterized by brown and black stains.
