Water is essential natural resources for sustaining life and environment that we have always thought to be available in abundance and free gift of nature. The present study was carried out to analysis of various water quality parameters with special reference to Fluoride to examine the major suitability of water for, irrigation, domestic and drinking use. Fluoride concentration in the study area varied from 0.5mg/L to 6.90mg/L with an average of 3.17mg/L. The presence of excessive quantity of fluoride in drinking water is accompanied by a characteristic sequence of changes in teeth and bone. Fluoride is attracted by positively charged calcium ions in teeth and bones and can result in pathological changes in teeth and bones, such as mottling of teeth or dental fluorosis followed by skeletal fluorosis. Groundwater is a major source of human intake of fluoride.
