Abstract

The availability of hygienic drinking water has become vital in the era of changing climate especially of ground water. This paper aims to investigate the ground water quality of Dungargarh (Rajasthan). Ground water samples were collected from different villages of Dungargarh. After sample collection, water analysis of selected physico-chemical parameters was done. These parameters were turbidity, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, salinity, chloride, fluoride, and nitrate. Data were analyzed statistically. The results depicted the ground water quality of Dungargarh almost appropriate for drinking and irrigation purposes. However, regular evaluation of groundwater quality is recommended in Dungargarh block to develop strategies for reduction of the excess dissolved chemicals.
