Ground water is the water located beneath the ground, or surface, in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formation, constitute about 95% of the fresh water on our planet1. It is a replenishable but finite resources. It often provides water supply that is more reliable in quantity and more stable in quality than the surface water3 and thus it has economic and operational advantages due to reduced treatment requirement. But nowadays due to over exploitation of ground water led to decline of these resources, the water table is going down deeper & deeper. More over excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture added by improper disposal of urban / industrial waste can cause contamination of ground water resources. Inorganic contaminant including salinity chloride, fluoride, nitrate, iron and some other metals are important in determining the suitability of ground water for drinking purposes. High incidence of the constituents such as fluoride, Manganese, and iron have been reported from some of the areas which have been mostly attributed to geogenic reasons. In the present investigation physicochemical parameter of some of the locality of Bhopal district are measured / detected to know the contamination of ground water and thus impact on health there of.
