Description :
The present investigation was carried out to study the physicochemical parameters of ground water and its suitability for domestic purpose from Nildoh village, MIDC Hingna. The study area is situated between 21.10 0 N 78.98 0 E and 9km west of Nagpur city. Samples were collected from ground water resource i.e. Dug wells from three different locations and in different seasons during the year 2014 - 20 15.The parameters studied were pH, Electrical conductance, Turbidity, Total Dissolved solids, Total Hardness, Magnesium, Total Alkalinity, Chloride, Sulphate, Fluoride, Iron. Most of the physicochemical characters were within ISI permissible limit except t he high concentration of Total Dissolved Solids and Total Hardness of water which loses its potability and reduces the solubility of oxygen in water. Measures to be taken in terms of groundwater quality management are required.
