Abstract
A study has been made to assess the water quality of ground water of hand pumps situated around the slaughter houses in respect of physico-chemical characteristics . Samples were collected within the range of 500 meter from the Makhdoomnagar slaughter house situated at Mathura bye pass road, Aligarh and 1km from slaughter house named as M\s- Hind agro industries ltd., situate towards Anupshahar road, Aligarh. There are two main slaughter houses out of which one is functioning in open area near Makhdoom nagar and other M/s Hind agro industries. Samples were collected from the hand pumps situated around slaughter houses and results of these collected samples revealed that water quality of ground water has been contaminated in most of the hand pumps situated near the slaughter houses in respect of physico- chemical characterisitics like colour, pH, conductivity, dissolved solids, hardness, chloride, DO, and BOD. Hence, in the vicinity of these slaguther houses lot of pungent, untolerable, bad odour affects the area up to approximately 5km.
