The ground water quality is determined in four blocks (Suar, Milak,Bilaspur, Shahabad),that lies in district Rampur of Uttar Pradesh, where from each block fifteen villages are under studied from assessment of Physico- chemical status of ground water. One sample from each village is under assessment of Physico-chemical solution and various quality parameter are measured including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS),total hardness(TH),content of calcium (Ca²⁺)^,,magnesium (Mg²⁺),sodium(Na⁺),potassium (K⁺),bicarbonate(HCO^3-), chloride(Cl^-)and sulphate (S0₄^2-)concentration present in water. A systematic calculation of correlation is performed among these parameters .The chemical analysis of water samples show considerable variations and also most of the samples do not comply with WHO standards for the parameter measured. Overall the water quality is found to be not suitable for drinking purposes with any prior treatment except at eight locations out of sixty village’s samples
