Water is most essential to life next to air only. Surface water and Sub-surface water both are very important for water supply for irrigation, industries and drinking purpose. Safe drinking water is primary needs of every person. Most of person mainly depends upon ground water sources. Some of these have problems such as excess hardness, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Nitrate etc. The natural quality of surface water and Sub-surface water tends to be degraded by human activities and geo environmental changes. Physico-chemical analysis of rivers and bore well and hand pumps has been collected in pre-monsoon (Aug-08) and Post-monsoon (Dec-08). Different parameter of water has been analyzed and assessed the suitability of drinking water in public hygiene scenario. Some parameters are with in the range as prescribed by ISI and WHO while other are beyond the limits.
