The drinking water quality was investigated in the suspected areas of five villages from District Palghar, Post Umbarpada, near Saphale . The objective was to investigate the source of safe and clean drinking water for the public health protection. The water samples from five villages named Sartodi, Karwale, Kandarvan, Ghatim and Navghar were analysed. These villages are adopted under Unnat bharat Abhiyan a programme of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource development. Ten water samples were collected and studied for Physiochemical and microbial Parameters to evaluate the drinking water quality The water samples were collected in the month of October and December.. Parameters such as pH, Conductivity, Total dissolved solid ( TDS), Salinity, Total Hardness , Dissolved oxygen, and microbial activity were evaluated. The obtained values were compared with standard set of values by the world Health organisation ( WHO) and local standards like National Drinking Water Quality standards ( NDWQS). The values of most of the parameters found out of the safe limits set by WHO and NDWQS. Out of the eight locations only one location was found to be safe for drinking purpose. It is also important to study the other parameters like Biological and Chemical oxygen demand and heavy metal content of the water samples.
