Water, which occurs below the water table, is referred to as groundwater. Ground water is usually cool, colourless and free from turbidity. Ground water is used for agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities all over the world. In the last few decades, there has been tremendous increase in the demand for fresh water due to rapid growth of population and accelerated pace of industrialization (Devi and Premkumar, 2012) which has resulted in the deterioration of quality of groundwater. Since the quality of public health depends to a greater extent on the quality of drinking water, it is incumbent that detailed information about the quality of water be systematically collected and monitored regularly through research and scientific way for sustainable development. Determination of physico-chemical parameters of water is essential for assessing the suitability of groundwater for various purposes like drinking, domestic, industrial and irrigation. The ground water quality may also vary with seasonal changes and is primarily governed by the extent and composition of dissolved solids. In view of the above aspects, the ground water pollution studies of Arsikere town and its surrounding areas is more important. In addition to the anthropogenic activities, the availability of potable water resources is being deteriorated by agricultural activities and over exploitation. Hence, it needs the study on the status of ground water quality in Arsikere.
