In present investigation an attempt has been made to investigate the quality of ground water around pravara area. The water quality parameter viz- pH, electrical conductance (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), total hardness (TH), total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), sulphate (SO₄ ), phosphate (PO₄) and nitrate (NO₃), were investigated. The result shows that the ground water from some sampling stations is within permissible limit according to WHO and ISI standards.
