Water pollution is a major global problem. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily in Lucknow Capital of &amp;nbsp;Uttar Pradesh in India.Nitrate and Nitrite pollution is one of groundwater&amp;#39;s most commonly identified contaminants, an indicator of&amp;nbsp; serious pollution as they are associated with septic waste and agricultural endeavours, leads to numerous health problems to human beings and animals.4 rural areas of Lucknow were selected and 15 samples from each station to check the level of nitrite and nitrate parameters in groundwater. Further our studies reveal that the extent of nitrate and nitrite varied with reference to sampled site and maximum nitrate was found to be 250.224 and maximum nitrite was 1.8998 both are high.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Nitrite</kwd><kwd> Nitrate</kwd><kwd> Ground Water Pollution</kwd><kwd> Lucknow</kwd></kwd-group><counts><ref-count count='' /><page-count count='' /></counts></article-meta></front></article>
