ABSTRACT: Ground water samples were collected from different locations in the radius of 25 km. of Kaithal city, Haryana(India). These water samples from 20 sampling points of Kaithal were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. Laboratory tests were performed for the analysis of samples for pH, Colour, Odour, Hardness, Chloride, Alkalinity, TDS etc. On comparing the results against drinking water quality standards laid by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and World Health Organization (WHO), it is found that some of the water samples are non-potable for human being due to high concentration of one or the other parameter. The usefulness of these parameters in predicting ground water quality characteristics were discussed. Thus an attempt has been made to find the quality of ground water in and around Kaithal City town, suitable for drinking purposes or not. [Researcher. 2009;1(2):1-5]. (ISSN: 1553-9865). Key Words: Water quality parameters, physiochemical study, pollution study, drinking water. INTRODUCTION The quality of ground water depends on various chemical constituents and their concentration, which are mostly derived from the geological data of the particular region. Ground water occurs in weathered portion, along the joints and fractures of the rocks. In fact, industrial waste and the municipal solid waste have emerged as one of the leading cause of pollution of surface and ground water. In many parts of the country available water is rendered non-potable because of the presence of heavy metal in excess. The situation gets worsened during the summer season due to water scarcity and...
