A study was carried out to assess the suitability of ground water used for drinking utility. A total 15 groundwater samples were collected and analysed for various physico-chemical parameters and compared with the WHO standards of drinking water quality parameters with the following water quality parameters namely EC, TDS, Ca , Mg, Cl , Na, K, F, etc. The quality of ground water in the study area is fresh to brackish water.
