<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Times-Italic; mso-bidi-font-family: Times-Italic;\">The physico-chemical status of water samples from ten major part of locality in district-anantnag(J&amp;K) was assessed. The sampling points were selected on the basis of their importance. The physicochemical parameter like,temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, dissolved oxygen(DO), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca++) magnesium (Mg++ ), sodium (Na+),potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), fluoride (F-), nitrate (NO-3) sulphate (SO2-4) and phosphate (PO3-4) of and Bore well was determined. The results were compared with standards prescribed byWHO (1973) and ISI (10500-91). It was found that the ground water was contaminated at few sampling sites namely Kokernag, Aishmuqam,Quazigund and anantnag city While the sampling sites Mattan,Srigufwara, Achchhabal, Shangus, Dooru, Verinag showed physicochemical parameters within the water quality standards and the quality of water is good and it is fit for drinking purpose.</span></em></p>
