Abstract:

In this research work, the tube well water samples (S1 to S6) were collected from Arjuni/Morgaon town, district Gondia of Maharashtra state, India. This town has population around 10000. The six different ground water samples (tube wells) were collected during Oct. 2022 to Jan. 2023. The sample places are different and maintain diversity in locality. The physical and chemical properties of collected water samples such as temperature, pH, EC, total dissolved solid (TDS), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), dissolved oxygen (DO), Sulphate ion, Chloride ion and Nitrate ion were determined. The values obtained are compared with standards prescribed by WHO. In present study, five water samples were within the limit. However one water sample showed slightly high TH, Chloride, TA and low DO values indicating poor water quality. The present investigation provides information on the quality of tube well water from collected area in Arjuni/Morgaon town and it is useful to identify polluted site, causes. This study helps to determine quality of the water samples are safe to drinking propose.The details are given in the result & discussion.
