ABSTRACT

The water samples from Jalaun, U.P., India were tested to assess the quality of ground water used for drinking during the period of investigation. The physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters were studied. The results obtained were compared with WHO/ICMR standard. The study area have high electrical conductivity (1.02 µs) and hardness (250 mg/l) at some places. Coliform count is very high (4000 MPN/100ml) at most sampling sites. These water cause various types of water borne diseases.

Key words : Coliform count, Conductivity, Hardness, Water quality.
