Ground water is the major source of drinking water in both urban and rural areas 5. It is the most important source of water supply for drinking and irrigation purposes in rural areas. Ground water quality plays an important role in groundwater protection and quality conservation. Hence it is very important to assess the ground water quality not only for its present use but also from the view point of a potential source of water for future consumption 6. Water sources available for drinking and other domestic purpose must possess high degree of purity, free from chemical contamination and microorganism. The people of Tekanpur uses wells, bore wells and lake water for their daily activities and also for drinking purposes. This study was carried out to determine some physiochemical parameters of ground water samples and lake water in relation to water quality requirement for drinking purpose.
