<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">In present investigation samples of water from different ponds of Newara Village of Bilaspur District of Chhattisgarh have been collected and analysed for the presence of various ions, hardness and alkalinity. We report a considerable increase in their values and thereby provide a base for recommendation for no-use of pond water specially for cooking, drinking and bathing.</span></span></p>
