The evaluation of physico chemical parameters of ground water of Bijapur city was carried out seasonally to study the quality of water and suitability for domestic purpose. Talabs (Lakes), Bowdis (Wells) (constructed by Adil Shahi Sultans in 16th &17th century ) and bore wells are water resources of the city. Ten samples were collected from different sources at different locations during summer, rainy season and winter season of 2009. The parameters studied were pH, EC, TDS, Turbidity, Fluoride, Sulphate, Chloride, Nitrate and Total hardness. The present investigation revealed that the quality of water varies from season to season. Some of the samples are unfit for drinking and utility purpose and requires the proper treatment before use.
