Abstract
The Present Study was Carried out to Asses the Ground Water quality in Nagamangala Taluk , Mandya District and The Assessment involves the Determination of the Water quality. So We Select Some Locations to Monitoring the Quality of Ground Water in Nagamanagala Taluk . The Main important Agenda of the study was to Evaluate the various water quality Parameters Whether it is Suitable or Not for Drinking and Aquatic Body Purpose, Agriculture, Domestic Purpose . The Values Color, Odour, PH@ 250C, Total Hardness CaCO3, Total Alkalinity CaCO3, Iron as Fe, Chloride as Cl, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Calcium as Ca, Magnesium as Mg, Sulphate as SO4, Nitrate as NO3, Fluoride as F, Nitrite NO2, Dissolved Phosphate as PO4, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) All these Parameters were there compared with the ISI and WHO Standards. To investigate the above parameters for assessment of groundwater quality in Nagamangala Taluk, Mandya District. In this Nagamangala taluk was devided into two zones are randomly selected and two groundwater Samples were collected and analyzed in laboratory for the test of Physio-chemical Properties. Few of the parameters are within the accepted standard value of Bureau of Indian Standards, WHO ( World Health Organization), the Permissible values are within the limits as Prescribed by WHO. The Study investigated that the ground water quality of the Nagamangala location1 and Location 2 are good and the groundwater is fit for the human consumption based on the all parameters of Physio-Chemical assessment.

1. Introduction
The Analysis of Ground water quality isvery needful forthe estimation ofsuitabilityof water for safeuse due tothehuman beings, industrial activities, commercial Activities, Agricultural Activities. Most of ground water is Polluted or Contaminated. The wateris moredemand forthedrinkingpurposein all overworld.Thegroundwaterisalso contaminated byunscientific methodsof disposal of Solid waste, Hazardous Wastes, SewagesandBiomedical wasteand alsoindustrial effluents or Waste wateraredirectlydisposedofftotheopenlands.ItalsoaffectstothegroundwatertableanditalsoeffectstotheSoilfertility. Nowadaysthegroundwatercontaminationisbecomingaseriousproblemanditcausesthecriticalandmildhealthproblems for human beings. So the assessment of ground water quality is protect the natural ecosystem also. In the last few years the fresh water is more demand because of the high growth of the Population , Rapid growth of the urbanization and industrialization.Themostofthediseasesarecausedbythewater.
waterisveryessentialfordrinkingpurposeespeciallythegroundwateristhemorenumberofpeopleusedordependingfora drinking purpose. Pesticides and Fertilizers are normally used in the Crop Cultivation, so resulting high concentration of chemical constituents are present in the groundwater, water quality investigation of groundwater quality is suitable for mainly drinking purpose and after domestic, agriculture activities. Once The ground water polluted, its quality cannot by returned back easily. Hence the present study agenda to conduct the detailed assessment of groundwater quality in Nagamangala Taluk of Mandya district, Karnataka state in India. The Samples of groundwater were collected from six identified locations. It includes open wells and Bore wells. The physical, Chemical, biological parameters were analyzed for ValuesColor,Odor,PH@250C,TotalHardnessCaCO3,TotalAlkalinityCaCO3,IronasFe,ChlorideasCl,TotalDissolvedSolids (TDS),CalciumasCa,MagnesiumasMg,SulphateasSO4,NitrateasNO3,FluorideasF,NitriteNO2,DissolvedPhosphateasPO4, DissolvedOxygen(DO),withthebyusingtheAPHAStandardMethods.
2. Materials and Methodology
Mainly the groundwater supply for safe drinking Agriculture, and Domestic Purpose in Rural and urban Areas and Many treatmentsinfrastructureisnecessaryfortreatmentandsupplyofsafedrinking water.Urgentlywedonottakenthestepsfor the treatment of Polluted groundwater resources.

All above samples were collected in sterile glasses schott bottles (5 Liters) . Ph and Conductance’s are measured in the field by using portable kits.

This investigation focus on the groundwater quality status in different locations of the Nagamangala taluk, Mandya District. Physio-chemical parameter assessment was which determine whether the water can be used for drinking, agriculture, domesticpurpose.InthisstudyinlocationoneTotalHardnessCaCO3,TotalAlkalinityCaCO3,IronasFe, ChlorideasCl,Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Calcium as Ca, Magnesium as Mg, Sulphate as SO4,the values are very less, the TDS Concentration in Drinking Water and it causes cardiovascular diseases and Heart Diseases. Whether turbidity more in the ground water it causes water born bacteria, viruses, protozoa etc..and also it causes the water born diseases. Hence some of the PhysiochemicalParametersresultsareverylesstotheStandardvaluesandremainingparametersarewithintheStandardlimits.
The study analyzes that in groundwater quality status of Nagamangal Taluk, Mandya District ranged from excellent to good conditions .and the Ground water is fit for the human consumptions, Agricultural Activities, Domestic Purpose, Commercial Purpose,IndustrialPurposeetc…SomeParameterslikeTotalHardnessCaCO3,TotalAlkalinityCaCO3,IronasFe,Chlorideas Cl,TotalDissolvedSolids(TDS),CalciumasCa,MagnesiumasMg,SulphateasSO4,Parameters arelittlebitlessinfrontofthe
Permissible limits and remaining Parameters results were within the Permissible limits. None of the Physio-chemical Parameters exceeded the Permissible Value for Water Quality Assessment as Prescribed by the WHO (World Health Organization)andBIS.
