Groundwater and surface water are two main sources for the consumption in industries, irrigation, domestic work and many other purposes.

In the present work the physico- chemical assessment of groundwater of area near Yamuna River, passing through Aligarh district, have been carried out. Water quality of Yamuna River is very poor due to direct discharge of industrial effluents, chemicals, plastic and garbage in the river.
