Water is an essential resource for life on Earth and freshwater resources are emerging as a limiting factor not only in quality for human development and ecological stability in a growing number of locations. The aim of this thesis report is to assess groundwater quality intended for drinking water purposes in the Jasra Block (Kanjasa Uparhar village), as a site study. It involves defining and determining groundwater quality parameters due to domestic effluent discharges, farming. Water quality was determined at 06 selected water point sources. This analysis incorporates procedures involved in the determination of water quality parameters and comparing to some of the existing water quality was compared with the Indian Standard Specification for drinking water. The use of alternative sources, improvement of water supply structures and water treatment are possible solutions to improve the quality of drinking water in the Jasra Block (Kanjasa Uparhar village). The physico-chemical parameters such as pH, DO, TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Turbidity, Temperature and Cl of the sample have been taken into account for deciding the groundwater quality of the village. Results of the assessment confirmed that in the studied area there are several parameters health and aesthetic concern.
