Abstract

Groundwater is one of the most useful water sources. Contamination of such water source is a big problem creating health hazards. In this present study we have collected groundwater samples from different places of Rajkot city of India. These samples were analyzed for the various physicochemical parameters like pH, conductivity, total dissolved solid, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, sodium, potassium sulphate, chloride ion and biochemical oxygen demand.
