------***------ABSTRACT - Water plays an essential role in human life. 2. LOCATION: Although statistics, the WHO reports that approximately 36% of urban and 65% of rural Indian were without access to safe Latitude & Longitude: N17°06’625” & E81°17’334 ” drinking water. Fresh water is one of the most important resources crucial for the survival of all the living beings. It is State: Andhra Pradesh even more important for the human being as they depend District: West Godavari upon it for food production, industrial and waste disposal, as well as cultural requirement. Human and ecological use of Country: India ground water depends upon ambient water quality. For example, seeing where different water quality parameters Languages: Telugu Such as pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness(TH), Total alkalinity(TA) content of calcium (Ca2+),,magnesium (Mg2+), sodium ( Na ), potassium ( K ), Iron (Fe), chloride(Cl-), fluoride (F- ),sulphate (S042-), Nitrite(NO2-), DO, BOD, COD were determined using standard procedures . In this paper to study the seasonal variation in physic-chemical parameters in ground water in Jangareddygudem Mandal.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Ground water is considered as one of the purest forms of water available in nature and meets the overall demand of rural as well as urban population.Groundwater plugs a vital roleinhuman life. Increase in urbanization, industrialization, agriculture activity and various human activities increase the pollution of surface water & ground water. Once the Figure:1. Map showing the Jangareddygudem Mandal groundwater is contaminated, its quality cannot be restored back easily and we need to device ways and means to protect 3. METHODOLOGY: it .Consequently number of cases of water borne diseases has been seen which cause health hazards . An understanding of All physical,chemical and biological parameters of water chemistry is the bases of the knowledge of the ground water sample were determined byadopting multidimensional aspect of aquatic environmental chemistry standard analytical methods which are listed below. which involves the source, composition, reactions and transportation of water. The quality of water is of vital concern for the mankind since it is directly linked with human welfare. Therefore, monitoring the quality of water is one of the essential issues of drinking water management Considering the above aspects of groundwater contamination, the present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of the groundwater quality water samples at Jangareddygudem Mandal of West Godavari district, A.P, India.

Sandereson, Manual of water and waste water values in winter season are somewhat higher than the Rainy analysis, NEERI, Nagpur, 1994. season. Alkalinity, Hardness Sodium, potassium ,Chloride values of both the season are close to each other which are in desirable limits .The fluoride values of winter season is high when compare to Rainy season. The quality of Ground water sources in the jangaredygudem Mandalare suitable for Drinking.
