Abstract

Groundwater is one of an important source of water for the people in the city. The chemical parameters of groundwater play a significant role in classifying and assessing water quality. Groundwater samples were collected from 5 stations representing the whole city during summer of year 2014 and were analyzed for different physico-chemical parameters i.e. pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Total Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Turbidity, Phosphate, Sulphate . The results were compared with the limits set by WHO and BIS.
