Ground water is the main source of fresh water in this nagar panchayat area of Azamgarh district. The water samples are collected twice from the eleven sites selecting at least one from each ward of the nagar panchayat area, first sampling is done in the month of November 2016 and the other in February 2017. The physico -chemical parameters viz., colour, odour, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), hardness, chloride, calcium, pH and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were analysed. In the most of the samples, water is colourless and does not impart turbidity. Only few samples have odour. TDS was very high in almost all the samples. The water is moderately hard. The concentration of calcium was within acceptable limit. The pH is above neutral in all the samples hence shows alkalinity. Chloride concentration was very high in the collected samples. The values of BOD were reported to be also high in the samples collected from the different sampling stations.
