摘要:This study was carried out in Gorakhpur city and peri-urban area of Khorabar block to assess the some groundwater quality parameters of selected India Mark-II and shallow depth hand pumps. A total number of 16 samples were tested for pH, acidity, alkalinity, chloride, total hardness and fluoride and the results are compared for Gorakhpur city and Khorabar block. It is revealed that total dissolved solids and hardness exceeded in 25 percent of the samples taken from shallow depth hand pumps in Gorakhpur city whereas, in Khorabar block 25 percent of the samples were affected by pH. It is, therefore, suggested to take up detailed water quality surveys and community awareness programs on water quality in urban and peri-urban areas of Gorakhpur city.
