Present work deals with the study of physicochemical parameters of ground water samples in Jalgaon city at different sampling stations during 2008 – 2009 in pre monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon seasons. The observed values of various physicochemical parameters of water samples were compared with standard values recommended by W.H.O. It was found that the concentration of total alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, pH, zinc, total hardness and total dissolved solids are within permissible limits of W.H.O. But the concentration of cadmium and chromium in the present water samples exceeds the maximum permissible limit of W.H.O. However, the sample collected at station no.2, bore well water of Salar Nagar, shows the value of Hardness and TDS more than maximum permissible limits of W.H.O. Therefore this water can be used for household purpose, but is harmful for drinking.
