Abstract: Water is one of the most important and essential component of the ecosystem. The quality of water is determined by its physical, chemical and biological nature. The present studies has been focused on physico-chemical parameters to determine the pollution level in major surface and ground water bodies of Raipur region supplying potable water to a large number of population. The result of present work reveals that surface and ground water collected from all sites show alkalinity except site 6 where as parameters such as TS, TSS, TDS, T-H, alkalinity, sulphate, Na, K and Fe conc. values are highest at site 4 whereas in case of ground water these parameters shows highest degree of occurrence at site 4 including chloride and conductance.

Keywords: Ground water, surface water, physico-chemical parameters, analysis, water pollution
