Water quality index of ground water supported on the basis of collected data from Dapoli block, were evaluated for factors viz. TDS, pH, Total Hardness, Cl, Nitrate and Sulphate, etc. The WQI calculate showed that maximum numbers of wells varies in between good to excellent class. A small number of water specimen came in the class fair to poor class representing that water was suitable. The WQI was excellent in the study area. It was concluded from the results obtained that ground water quality of Dapoli block is suitable for consumption purpose. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
