Abstract

In the present study, physicochemical analysis of ground water samples were carried out from 20 sampling stations of Narsinghgarh rural area. The analysis of different parameters viz., pH, conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, chloride, TDS were carried out as per standard methods given in APHA (1998).
