Assessment of Physico Chemical Characteristics of Groundwater Quality of Ajmer City in Rajasthan

Studies of Physico chemical parameters of groundwater quality based on Physico chemical parameters of Ajmer city in Rajasthan have been taken up to evaluate its suitability for domestics purpose. 21 ground water samples were collected from different places of Ajmer city in Rajasthan. The quality analysis has been made through the pH, EC, TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, COD, Total Hardness, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate, Fluoride and Alkalinity. A systematic calculation of the correlation coffecient has also been carried out between different analysed parameters. Comparative studies of samples in different seasons were conducted and it was found that Electrical Conductivity and Total Dissoved Solids TDS were decreased. Alkalinity and Total Hardness were increased after the rainfall. Ajmer is one of the major and oldest cities in the Indian state of Rajasthan and the centre of the eponymous Ajmer District. It is located at the centre of Rajasthan, and is home to the Ajmer Sharif shrine. The city was established as Ajayameru translated as Invincible Hills by a Chahamana ruler, either Ajayaraja I or Ajayaraja II, and served as their capital until the 12th century CE. Ajmer is in the northwest of India and is surrounded by the Aravali Mountains. It is situated on the lower slopes of the Taragarh Hill of that range. To the northwest is the Nagapathar Range of the Aravali Mountain Ranges which protects it from desertification from the Thar Desert.
