ABSTRACT: A systematic study has been carried out to explore the water quality
index of ground water of various locations of Gulbarga city. Ten water samples from
tube wells, open wells and hand pumps at various locations were collected using
standard procedural methods and analyzed for pH, nitrate, turbidity, total hardness,
alkalinity, fluoride, sulphate, sulphide, COD and DO. Biological examinations were
extensively carried out on each sample using known standard methods. In this study
overall water quality of Gulbarga city is very poor and unsuitable for drinking
purposes. Present study recommends that the top priority should be given to water
quality monitoring and indigenous technologies should be adopted to make water fit for
drinking after treatment such as desalination and defluoridation.
Key words: Ground water, Gulbarga city, Desalination, Defluoridation
