Abstract

The main source of drinking water in India is groundwater. Groundwater is also used enormously for domestic purposes, agricultural practice and industrial sectors. The composition of groundwater varies from place to place depending on the nature of soils through which it flows. However, the groundwater becomes contaminated due to human activities. In this paper, we studied the composition of bore well water collected from different places of nine blocks of Malda district, West Bengal, India. We also analyzed the deviation of composition of bore well water from WHO standard.
