The water has become an emotive issue with the people. The  paper presents  groundwater quality assessments  of Mandawa town and it’s surrounding area of Jhunjhunu district (Rajasthan). The results of this analysis were compared with the water quality standards of WHO AND BIS. The water samples were collected from 15 open wells and tube wells  in Mandawa town and it’s surrounding area. In this analysis the various physicochemical parameters such as pH , EC, Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), Total Hardness(TH), Alkalinity, F-,  Cl-,  NO3-  were determined using standard procedures.

The study reveals that the concentration of major constituents are not within the permissible limits of IS (10500-2012). It is observed that the water is polluted and affecting the human health  in certain areas. Hence a study has been carried out for the quality of the available groundwater.
