Abstract
Water samples from 20 different sources from Dhaligaon area were studied to access their potability for drinking purpose. A total of 13 physico-chemical parameters have been investigated. In 50% of water samples pH was found below the permissible limit, while in 65% of water samples turbidity exceeded the permissible limit. The concentration of iron (Fe) was found within the permissible limit only in 20% of water samples. Other parameters like electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, and total hardness were found within the permissible limit.
