Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate groundwater quality of thirty groundwater samples were analyse  from Ranjangaon Shenpunji village, Aurangabad District. The groundwater quality ions such as Total  hardness and calcium 100% of the groundwater samples are exceeding maximum permissible limit and  total dissolve solids 40%, Chloride 30%, Magnesium 73.33% and sulphate 76.67% is exceeding maximum  permissible as per the world health organization and bureau of Indian standards level for drinking water.  The plot of major ions in the piper diagram reveals that 100% groundwater samples are fall in Ca-Cl water  type.
