Abstract : Access to safe and clean water is essential for human health and well-being. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical properties of water in the Jaradih Dabri Para & Pachawal Talab Chattishgarh State India, Balrampur district, Chhattisgarh. Understanding water quality in this region is crucial for evaluating its suitability for drinking, agricultural, and industrial purposes. The study focused on key physico-chemical parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, alkalinity, hardness, and the concentrations of major ions such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, and zinc. These parameters provide insights into the chemical composition, overall quality, and potential impacts of water on human health and the environment. Water samples were collected from pond sources at different depths, representing commonly used water sources in the Jaradih Dabri Para & Pachawal Talab Chattishgarh State India. Standard laboratory methods were employed for analysis. pH was measured using a pH meter; EC and TDS were determined using a conductivity meter; turbidity was assessed with a turbidimeter; alkalinity was measured through titration; and hardness was determined using standard analytical procedures. The results indicate that the water is slightly alkaline, with pH values ranging from 7.6 to 8.1. EC and TDS values suggest varying degrees of mineralization, indicating the presence of dissolved salts. Turbidity levels ranged from low to moderate, reflecting variations in water clarity. Alkalinity values indicate a moderate buffering capacity against pH changes. Hardness levels varied, suggesting differing concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions. The concentrations of major ions also varied, reflecting the geological and hydrological characteristics of the region. The findings provide valuable insights into the physico-chemical properties of water in the Aragahi area and can assist local authorities, water management agencies, and community stakeholders in assessing water quality and implementing appropriate treatment strategies. This study also contributes to the existing body of knowledge on water quality in Chhattisgarh and serves as a baseline for future monitoring and research efforts.
