Abstract

Water plays non replaceable role in human life most required for healthy population. In the present study of ground water samples from 12 different wells have been carried out for investigation. The sample ware analysed for pH, EC, turbidity, carbonate, bicarbonate, total alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, total hardness(TH), chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, sulphate, Sodium, SAR (sodium adsorption ratio), RSC (residual sodium carbonate), potassium and TDS (total dissolved solids). All the data result of the present study has been compared with water quality parameters of Indian standards (IS), WHO and standard laboratory method of APHA. Thus an attempt has been made in some selected villages of Ghogha taluka in Bhavnagar district of Gujarat in the month of April-May-2017 to find the quality of groundwater is appropriate for drinking and irrigation purpose.
