Abstract

Ground water is one of the most useful water sources for sustaining life and environment, but over the last few decades the water quality has been deteriorated to it's over exploitation. Contamination of such water source is a big problem creating health hazard. The study has been carried out assess the ground water quality and its appropriateness for drinking in most rural habitations of Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan. And assess the ground water quality parameters such as; pH, TDS, Electrical Conductivity, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Calcium Hardness, Magnesium Hardness, Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Sodium, Potassium, Fluoride, Sulphate and Nitrate have been analysed.
