Online published on 4 June, 2019. Abstract Water is a chemical union between hydrogen and Oxygen. Water is unique in the sense that it can exist in three phases at almost the same temperature: Solid state (ice), liquid and gas (water vapour). On the earth, about 2/3 of the surface is covered by water and about 1/3 by land. So, water is a basic, natural resources for agriculture and industry. The present study was conducted to analyze the physico-chemical properties of groundwater from ten locations in Aligarh and Agra district of Uttar Pradesh. The samples were analyzed for seven water quality parameters in post monsoon season during the year 2017. The study area has a mean of pH 7.65, Total alkalinity 1002.2 mg/l, Electrical Conductivity 2.57 μS/m, Total Dissolved Solids 650.4 ppm, COD 94.2 mg/l, BOD 0.89 mg/l, and Fluoride 0.85 ppm. The results obtained from chemical analysis were compared with standard namely Bureau of Indian standards (BIS). From the analysis it has been observed that the drinking water quality in the study area is reasonably not good and it does show any alarming level of pollutants, however it needs some degree of treatment before use for drinking and other purposes. It also needs to be protected from the industrial waste and sewage contamination. Top Keywords Water, Physico-chemical properties, Groundwater Quality, Pollutants. Top |
