Abstract

Efforts were made to evaluate the physiochemical analysis of ground drinking water in some village of near kali east river. A total of 40 ground water samples from different villages were collected and analyzed in the laboratory. The data indicates that the ground water in this area is modernly to neutral in pH, colorless and turbidity less the permissible limit However, Higher EC in some samples were recorded and majority of the samples below the permissible limit. The toxic metal concentration like Fluoride, Chromium, Cadmium, Lead was within permissible limit except some samples as recommended by while, the concentration of nitrate in most of the sample are higher than permissible level, which indicate that ground water is not suitable for drinking purpose.
