The study of physico-chemical characteristics of ground water (bore well and dug well) in region near Sangli Miraj Kupwad, MIDC is to be done, to know its suitability for domestic use and irrigation. Water samples were collected from different sites covering borderline area of MIDC and neighboring village downstream to it. These samples were analyzed for various parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, total hardness, chlorides, sulphate, nitrate and BOD, COD, Cu, Zn, Fe, Cd, Hg, Pb, As using standard method. The values of parameter are out of the highest desirable limit or exceeded the permissible limit. This is because of industrial effluent, which is percolated through ground as well as mixed with water stream causing deterioration of water resources. The analyze of sample collected for the physical chemical and biological parameter to be check with respect to WHO Standard and BIS Standards for use of Potable purpose and industrial purpose. The relative result will gives us the idea of pollutants identity, quantity, Quality, and concentration in the ground water source. The source of pollution and the remedial measure to be followed for use this water were suggested in this paper. The prevention technics and manegment technics also elabriated in this paper.
