Much of ill health that affects humanity, especially in the developing countries can be traced to lack of safe and wholesome water therefore groundwater samples were collected from six hand pumps of primary school of Atarra tehsil and analysed for its drinking water quality. Laboratory tests were performed for the analysis of pH, Hardness, Chloride, Alkalinity, TDS etc. On comparing the results against drinking water quality standards laid by World Health Organization (WHO), it was found that some of the water samples are non-potable for human.
In the present study, EC was found higher than permissible limit at all station, Total hardness, Calcium & Magnesium were also higher than permissible limit except S2 (Awashthi Ashram) and S6 (Nijaminagar), turbidity at S3 (Nagwara) was higher than permissible limit. Fluoride value was found high at S6 (Nijaminagar) and nitrate value was very high than the limit at S5 (Badausa area). There cannot be state of positive health and well being without water. Thus an attempt has been made to find the quality of ground water in and around Atarra tehsil.
