Abstract
Khurja is a tehsil of district Bulandshahar (U.P.) India which is famous for manufacturing of crockery products. There is a large scale slaughter house at Mundakhera road which discharges its blood red effluents in nearby ponds having area more than S acre. The city Khurja is situated on G.T. road between Aligarh and Bulandshahar cities and approximately 75 km away from Delhi towards south. This paper presents a case study of water quality of hand pumps situated around the ponds which receives more than 80% blood red effluents of slaughter house. The study reveals that the ground water quality of hand pumps selected within range of 2 km. from slaughter house is not suitable for drinking purpose with respect to colour, odour, pH, TDS, conductivity, hardness, DO, BOD and chloride at sampling points 1-3 while at sampling point 4 and S the parameter colour, odour, pH, hardness, BOD and chloride were found within limit of drinking purpose where as TDS, conductivity, and DO were observed beyond the limit.
