The present study represents the impact of marble mining and processing units on the quality of ground water in the Rajasamand district of Rajasthan state. For this work various water sampleswere collected from surrounding areas of the mining hub covering all the tehsil namely- Rajasmand, Amet, Bhim, Deogarh, Khamnor,Kumbhalgarh, and RailmangraofRajasamd district. The sample were analysed for various Physio- chemical parameters like-Electrical Conductivity(EC), pH, Total Hardness (TH), Dissolved Solids-Total (TDS), Sodium (Na+1) Potassium(K+1), Calcium (Ca+2), Magnesium (Mg+2), Chloride (Cl-1), Sulphate (SO4-2), Carbonate (CO3-2 ), Bicarbonate (HCO32), Nitrate(NO3-1) , Fluoride (F), the result of water quality parameters was compared with IS:10500-2012 drinking water specification. The finding of results indicates that the level of the certain parameters like TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cl, NO3, andF exceed the limits of ground water stipulated by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). As per the observations, we must say that it may be possible that one of the egregious sourcesto polluting ground water in the region is marble mining and its allied activities. The present study is based on the sample collected and tested in the laboratory and it is an attempt to determine the physio- chemical characteristics of ground water in the marble mining area of the Rajasamand district in Rajasthan state of India.
