Water represents the basic elements supporting life and the natural environment, a primary component for industry, a consumer item for humans and animals, and a vector for domestic and industrial pollution. Much of ill health that affects humanity, especially in the developing countries can be traced to lack of safe and wholesome water supply. There cannot be state of positive health and well-being without water. The study was aimed to examine the various samples of drinking water and the quality of groundwater as it relates to public health. Seven groundwater samples were taken from different source of drinking water of S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9 and S10 were analyzed for pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolve Solid (TDS), Total Hardness, Acidity, Alkalinity and Chloride. The results were compared with BIS standards. The usefulness of these parameters in predicting ground water quality characteristics were discussed. The results of the experiment are concluded as the pH, EC25 0 dSm-1 , Chloride (mg/l), Alkalinity (mg/l), Acidity (mg/l) was found within the permissible limits at all sites of experiment. The Total Hardness (mg/l) at all sites and TDS (mg/l) of S1 (Chandauli), S2 (Mughalsarai), S4 (Niyamtabad) was found under desirable limit. The study reveals that after chemical analyses, the considerable variations were recorded in drinking water quality at different places and sites of Chandauli District, most of the water samples do not comply with BIS standards of water for drinking purpose.
