Popis:	A study was conducted to evaluate the spatial and seasonal variation in the quality of the surface water sources along national highway, state highway and link road. Physicochemical properties of water were estimated using water samples collected during the pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons in the year 2018 and 2019. The water quality parameters (pH, EC, Turbidity, TDS, BOD, COD, Cl-, NO3- and heavy metals) were calculated. The investigation revealed that pH (6.91-7.35), EC (0.17-0.29 dS m-1), TDS (140.12-175.54 mg l-1), Turbidity (2.34-3.87 NTU), BOD (2.25-2.89 mg l-1), COD (13.49-20.19 mg l-1), Cl- (14.36-30.15 mg l-1), NO3- (3.12-4.89 mg l-1) and various heavy metals were within permissible limits and varied significantly (p
