Total 16 water samples were collected from different locations in and around Gwalior city. Electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total aerobic microbial count and most probable number were maximum in S-3 sample. pH, hardness and DO were observed higher in S-6, S-8, S-10 samples. Enteric pathogen E. coli and Enterobacter were found in samples viz S-5, S-11 and S 1-4, S-10, S-12-13 respectively. No coliforms were observed in samples S-6-9 and S-14-16. The physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of different water samples showed that maximum samples were not suitable for drinking purpose.
