Abstract
The present study is intended to analyse the water quality of different water sources of Hamirpur, Una, Bilaspur and Shimla districts of Himachal Pradesh. The physico-chemical characteristics like pH, turbidity, calcium, magnesium, total dissolved solids, total hardness, iron total residual chlorine and total alkalinity were studied and found to be deviating from the standard values. The pH, turbidity and calcium were found to be more in the study area. The physico-chemical parameters were taken for calculation of water quality index. The quality of water at some places was found to be good except for some sampling stations where quality index of water was very low.
