Rapid industrialization, improper solid and toxic waste management practices in urban areas often lead to the degradation of groundwater, which then turns un-potable for future use. Ground water pollution not only affects the water quality but also threats human health, economic development and social prosperity. Suitability of groundwater quality of 5 bore wells and hand pump located in the sub-urban areas in Jalgaon city was assessed for drinking purpose based on the various water quality parameters required for the potable water in chapters 1 to 3. Also author suggest that, various test for quality parameters such as pH, Total dissolved solid (TDS), Temperature, conductivity, odour, colour, Turbidity, Hardness, Alkalinity, Chloride content, MPN are conducted on the collected ground water samples. The obtained results are compared with the drinking water quality requirement of WHO standard. From the comparison, the permissible and objectionable limits are decided and suitable treatments are recommended for the objectionable results which is covered in chapter 4. This book is most helpful in proper treatment of available ground water resources in the area for drinking purpose.
