The present study aims at identifying the ground water contamination problem in the vicinity of Gajraula industrial area at Gajraula (U.P.), India. Ground water samples were collected by hand pumps and bore well, based on the depth of 40 and 120 feet of water table respectively. Analytical techniques were adopted in the standard methods for examination of drinking water quality in ground water samples and results compared with the standards given by WHO and BIS guidelines for drinking water quality. The physico-chemical parameters like conductivity, TDS, Alkalinity, Ca, Mg-hardness and COD were recorded higher ranges in comparison to standard values. The present study showed that drinking water quality of bore well water found slightly better than water of hand pumps.
