What is it about?
he study was conducted to evaluate the groundwater quality along the Kopargaon taluka. Thirty six ground water samples were collected from different sources in pre monsoon and post monsoon season, during the year 2013. The descriptive statistical analysis was carried out besides Pearson correlation. Correlation analysis revealed that very strong correlation exists between HCO3and Na(0.961), HCO3and Mg++ (0.935), HCO3and EC (0.927).

Why is it important?
n the present study water quality has been calculated to assess the suitability of groundwater for drinking purpose along the periph-ery of, Kopargaon, Maharashtra, India. Better water quality was found in the post monsoon season than that of pre-monsoon sea-son because of inflow of freshwater. The results shows that the concentration of alkalinity, total hardness, Ca, Mg, Cl at most of the sampling stations having higher values than the permissible limit prescribed by the Indian standards. In the present study, the correlation of physico-chemical parameters of groundwater revealed that all the parameters were more or less correlated with one another. Groundwater of the study area shows alkaline earth (ca and mg) exceeds than alkalis (Na and K), weak acids (HCO3) exceeds than strong acids (Cl, SO4 and NO3).
Perspectives
The analysis shows that the ground-water of the study area need some treatment before it consumption. It is recommended that water analysis should be carried out from time to time to monitor the rate and kinds of contamination
