The results of this analysis were compared with the water quality standards Received 24 March, 2013 H Received in revised form of WHO and CPHEEO. In this analysis the various physicochemical parameters such as P , total dissolved solids, 19th April, 2013 Ca, Mg, Na, No3, K, Cl, So4 and HCo3 etc., determined using standard procedures. The quality of groundwater Accepted 04th May, 2013 samples were discussed with respect to these parameters and thus an attempt were made to ascertain the quality of th groundwater used for drinking and domestic purposes in the sampling areas.
