Abstract

In the present investigation an attempt has been made to examine the water quality of various potable water sources of drinking and irrigation water of Modasa Taluka, North Gujarat. Some physico - chemical parameters of ground water have been studied. Nitrate was estimated by using standard methods reported earlier. BIS (Bureau of Indian Standard) has recommended a desirable limit of Nitrate is 45 mg/L as the safe limit. Four samples were showed the amount of nitrate very high whereas three samples were showed the amount of nitrate very low.
