In the modern developmental activities water is one of the natural resource under pressure of anthropogenic activities. In hilly areas it is also polluted due to anthropogenic activities and direct mixing of polluted water with fresh water due to flow of polluted water through joints and fractures. In the present study water quality at Morni town located on Lower Siwalik hill has been studied. Five water samples have been collected during June 2018 and analysed using field water testing kit prepared by Tamilnadu Water Supply and Drainage Board, Chennai for twelve chemical parameters. The results of chemical analysis of water samples shows that pH varies 6.5 -7, alkalinity 100 mg/l to 150 mg/l, hardness 140 mg/l to 230mg/l, chloride 20mg/l to 50mg/l, total dissolved solids (TDS) 336 mg/l to 516 mg/l, fluoride 0.5 mg/l to 1.5mg/l, Iron 0 mg/l to 10mg/l, ammonia 0.5mg/l to 2.0 mg/l, nitrite 0.2 mg/l to 0.5 mg/l, nitrate 20 mg/l to 45 mg/l, phosphate nil in all water samples and residual chlorine 0 mg/l to 0.5 mg/l. The water quality is potable in three water samples and non-potable in two water samples (Kila Ghat and Handpump-2). The study is useful for monitoring the water quality for drinking purpose.EnglishWater, quality, potable, nonpotable, Morni, Haryana.https://journal.stenvironment.org/abstract?id=181References1619
