Abstract

The present study has been carried out to assess arsenic and fluoride concentration in groundwater from June 2014 to May 2015. Every month water samples were collected and analyzed according to APHA. All the Physico-chemical parameters of the groundwater of study area are within the permissible limit. Heavy metal analysis was carried out through AAS. Data is subjected for statistical analysis.
