Underground water pumped from the borewells is one of the main source fo drinking water in Busawal City. Improper and open drainage system may cause percolation of undesirable materials anc contaminate the underground water. The undergournd water samples were collected from 12 different location near stagnant sewage water of Bhusawal city and the physico-chemical characteristics such as temperature pH, TDS. Total hardness, Ca++ , Mg++ Chlorides, Conductivity, Do.CO2COD of the samples were analysed. The pH of water at Gajanan nagar, Sahakar Nagar and New RMS Colony was towards higher side but was within the normal limits TDS value of water was highest at Timber Market with high Chlorides and COD. Conductivity of water was maximum at V.M.Ward Calcium value were above ISI levels at Kandari,New RMS colony, Swamisamarth, Anand nagar and Mohi nagar but magnesium levels at all sites were within the normal range.
