Abstrakt: Water is one of the most important resource among all natural resources on earth. We depend on water for drinking, irrigation and industrial needs as well as for disposal of wastes. More than 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water but availability and quality of water is a major concern. The safety of drinking water is affected by various physio-chemical and microbiological characteristics, which causes serious health problems if exceed the permissible limits. The present study has been carried out with the objective to examine the suitability of ground water in industrial belt of Bhagwanpur Block in District Haridwar (Uttarakhand). Ion Chromatography (IC) technique has been used for the analysis of samples. During the study, it was found that most of the physical and chemical parameters of ground water were within the acceptable and permissible limits as prescribed for drinking water (BIS, 2012). However, continuous discharge of domestic wastes and industrial effluents from various industries may contaminate the ground water in future and cause serious health problems. In places that are highly populated, heavily industrialised and have shallow ground water levels, the problem of ground water quality degradation is quite common. It is therefore recommended to monitor the quality of ground water regularly to ascertain the suitability of ground water for drinking and other domestic needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
