A total of 28 samples from different bore wells were collected and analyzed for 10 parameters to determine the water quality of that area. The water quality of samples collected in the study area has been compared with drinking water quality standards as per BIS 10500(1991) and CPHEEO manual on water sample and Treatment (Third Edition, May, 1999) Ministry of Urban Development, GOI, New Delhi.
