Statistical analyses (Descriptive analysis and ANOVA test) were applied to water quality (Physico-chemical) data monitored for year 2017 for observations to check the seasonal and temporal variations in water quality in selected rural communities of Chitrakoot Nagar Panchayat. Changes in concentrations of various physico-chemical parameters such as (pH, Temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), Alkalinity, BOD and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were observed using statistical techniques. Statistical analyses revealed that concentrations of parameters were changing with seasonal variation but variations in three variables viz., EC, TDS and COD were statistically more significant variation were observed.
