Abstract

Pollution of ground water is one of the areas of major concern to environmentalists. Water quality is an index of health and well being of a society. Industrialisation, urbanisation and modern agriculture practices have direct impact on ground water resources. These factors influence the ground water quantitatively and qualitatively. Ground water is an important source of potable water supply for Kashipur as well as adjoined areas of the U S Nagar district for all purposes. Ten different locations were selected for the study and compared. Attempts were made to study and analyze the physico-chemical characteristics of the water. The parameters studied were temperature, pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, chloride, sulphate, total dissolved solids, calcium, magnesium and conductivity. By observing the result it can be concluded that the parameters which were taken for study the water quality are below the pollution level for ground water which satisfy the requirement for the use of various purposes like domestic, agricultural, industrial etc in Kashipur area.
