Abstract
Instead of having plenty of water in the Garhwal Himalayas in the form of Glaciers and snow fed rivers, a large population is facing the problem of easy availability of freshwater. Natural springs This paper deals with the study of natural water springs in Garhwal region. The parameters studied were alkalinity, acidity, DO, BOD, free CO,, nitrate, H,S, chlorides, hardness, inorganic phosphates, temperature, pH and coliform number. The study elucidates that the water quality of selected natural water springs is suitable for drinking purpose.
