This document presents the results of a physico-chemical analysis of groundwater samples from 7 wells in Hambardi Village, India. The objectives were to analyze water quality parameters, check potability, and identify any polluted areas. Water samples were tested for pH, conductivity, COD, hardness, calcium, magnesium, phosphates, sulphates, and nitrates. The results found that pH levels in two samples exceeded limits, and COD was above limits in two other samples. Some samples also had lower hardness levels than the minimum limit. However, other parameters like phosphates, nitrates, sodium and potassium were within prescribed limits. The analysis helps identify areas for remedial measures to improve local water quality.

3. • To know the quality of water in the Hambardi village
• To check the potability of supplied water.
• To evaluate the Physico-chemical characteristics of
the water sample.
• To find out the polluted ground water areas.
• To search and suggest the remedial measures for
objectionable parameters.
• To aware the Hambardi village people regarding
water-borne diseases and their prevention.

15. From the above analysis and obtained results
we conclude that; Phosphate, Nitrates, sodium &
potassium content of the water sample collected
from different areas of Hambardi village are within
prescribed limits WHO and BIS.
But the pH of water sample from W-3 & W-7
is found to above prescribed limit. COD for the
water samples collected from W-1 & W-2 are also
found above the maximum limit suggested by WHO.
Sample water from W-2 , W-4 & W-7 area of
Hambardi village are found poor in Hardness than
prescribed limit of BIS however, it is within
permissible limit of WHO.
