Description :
Ground water samples (Bore wells) used as drinking water in mining area near Umrer, were analysed for pH, Temperature, Total solids, Chloride, Sulphate, Dissolved oxygen and Bio-chemical oxygen demand for a period of one year (2016-17). The quality of samples were assessed with drinking water standards by WHO (1984) and BIS (1998), as the ground water is used for drinking purpose, the samples of all the stations were found to be beyond the drinking water standards of WHO. The increased values observed in all the hydro-chemical parameters are attributed to the leaching from the soil. In this analysis it was noticed that all the parameters levels in the ground water increased, indicating the increased pollution of ground water day by day making the most of the ground water non-palatable.
