Abstract

Water is most abundant, precious and essential compound to sustain the life on the earth. Owing to random using of the natural source continuously deteriorates the basic quality. Present study has been carried out to assess the ground water quality of the tribal and rural district; Sarguja in the Chhattisgarh state. For this purpose, we have selected ten sampling locations (site code no. SD-1 To SD-10) from all the seven blocks of Sarguja district for collection of water samples in the month of November 2022. The collected water samples are subsequently analyzed by the standard methods for some selected water quality parameters. The obtained results were compared with the standard values prescribed by the water monitoring agency WHO (2011) and BIS (2012). The experimental results were also interpreted by statistical means. The finding results for sodium is 23.3 mg/L To 134 mg/L, Potassium, 0.32 mg/L To 13.1 mg/L, Iron was seen 0.312 mg/L To 2.95 mg/L while Chromium was reported in the ranges from 0.004 mg/L To 0.027 mg/L. The concentration of Fluoride was foun 0.8 mg/L To 15.35 mg/L. The result of some parameters especially PH value, Fluoride; and the Iron value were found above the permissible limits. The selected ground water sources are highly contaminated by the light and heavy metallic and non-metallic elements. People of study area are also suffering from different kinds of fluorosis. Therefore, the purification of the water sources by indigenous and cheapest techniques are mandatory before using of water for different human development purpose
