Abstract

An assessment of the groundwater quality was carried out in Nellimarla area of Vizianagaram District, Andhra Pradesh. The study was aimed at examining the various samples of groundwater and groundwater quality was assessed for drinking. Eight groundwater samples were taken from boreholes of different locations and were analyzed for pH, Electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids,total alkalinity, total hardness, chloride, calcium and magnesium using standard methods. The results were compared with World Health Organization and BIS: 10500 standards. The usefulness of these parameters in predicting groundwater quality characteristics were discussed. Thus an attempt has been made to find the quality of groundwater in Nellimarla area suitable for drinking purposes or not.
