The water samples were analyzed for Temperature, Turbidity, Colour and Odor, pH, Specific Conductivity, Total Solids, Chloride, Total alkalinity, Total hardness, Dissolve oxygen, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total coliform and Fecal coliform. The observed values of physicochemical parameters were compared with World Health Organization and ISI standard values. The result shows that the permissible limit were observed for pH, Total solids and Total hardness after comparison with standard values, whereas Total alkalinity, Total coliform and fecal coliform were observed higher than desirable standards.
