  • Abstract:
  • Groundwater is a major source of water all over the world. The physical and chemical properties of groundwater make it a reliable source throughout the world. Groundwater problems took longer time to come forward, but during the past two decades, it has attracted attention from a wide range of disciplines. Issues like groundwater pollution due to man-made activities, depletion of groundwater table etc. focus the attention of researchers on groundwater. Asnoli village located in Ambarnath area of Thane district. After survey of the Asnoli village, four sampling sites were selected. The groundwater quality of Asnoli village was studied from November 2012 to February 2013.Groundwater samples were collected from selected sampling sites during the study period and analysed for different physicochemical parameters like Temperature, pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Hardness, Turbidity, and Chloride. Obtained results were compared with WHO and BIS standards. All parameters were found within the permissible limits given by BIS and WHO except for turbidity. Turbidity in groundwater samples indicates pollution of groundwater by manmade activities.
