This paper presents quality of water samples from wells in order to find out the magnitude of health problems in industrial area of Bikaner city. The natural quality of ground water tends to be degraded by human activities. Five different locations were selected for the study. The parameters studied were pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, carbonate and noncarbonate hardness, total acidity, free CO2, chloride, sulphate, fluoride, total dissolved solids, iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd).The ion concentrations are expressed in mg/L.
