Abstract: In current investigation ground water quality were monitored and assessed along the urban area of Vadodara including Gorwa, Nizampura, Harni, Gotri, Sayajiganj, Fatehgunj, Ajwa Road, Tandelja, Lal Baug, Makarpura and Tarsali monitoring station. Electrical conductivity, TDS, turbidity and alkalinity were found to be higher as compared to BIS standards of drinking water due to presence of ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, PO43-, SO42, NO3- and Cl-. Ground water quality index (GWQI) was calculated on the basis of BIS standards of drinking water specification. The calculated GWQI for these sampling stations ranges from 41 to 193 with a mean values 100. Based on GWQI, most the ground water samples have been included in good water to poor water category. GWQI analyses showed better ground water quality in the monitoring stations located in the underdevelopment area of the city than those stations located in the developed area. These results evidently indicated the use of water filtration or/and treatment before consumption of ground water of Vadodara city and it is also needs to be protected from contamination.
