Abstract

Ground waters amples collected from different areas in and around Shanthisagar Lake, Channagiri taluk, Davangere District, India were analysed for their physicochemical characteristics. The various physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, Chloride & Fluoride were determined using standard procedures. The results of analysis were compared with the water quality standards of WHO, ICMR, Indian Standards, and USEPA. The study is an attempt to ascertain the quality of groundwater for different purposes in the sampling areas.
