Water is a natural resource for human life. Demand for fresh water increased in last decades due to increase in population. The quality of wate affected due to water pollution that has caused an adverse impact on human health. The drinkable water should be of good quality and its study on parameters gives a perfect analysis. The present study was conducted to evaluate the water quality in Jum hill station which is situated at Neral-Matheran route in Maharashtra. "Jummapatti waterfall" is an attractive tourist point. To check the water quality, water sample were collected from different area of Jummapatti. Water quality parameter such as dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, phosphates, total hardness, turbidity, and pH were measured using standard methods. This research article provides useful information about the current status of the physio-chemical parameters of water quality in Jummapatti, Maharashtra.

Mumbai is situated at the top of the Ulhās River on the western coast of India. It is covered by the Arabian Sea to the west. In Mumbai sandy soil is predominantly present due to its proximity to the sea. The present study was conducted during the winter season month of March and April 2017 inhabited areas. Soil samples were collected from different areas of Mumbai. Soil pH an content in soil were measured by using the standard method. The standard deviation was conducted on all variables. Our study showed that the pH value is in the alkaline range in different areas of Mumbai. It could be due to the decreased ground level of water, industrialization, pollution, inhabitation, and heavy construction in the area. Our study suggests that alkaline soils increase the salt content, could lower nutrition and mineral absorption leading to difficulty in taking up agricultural production.
