The Physico-chemical parameters of groundwater samples collected from various places in jhagrakhand, ledri, khongapani, coal field area of manendragarh, C.G. The physico-chemical parameter like temperature, pH, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, chloride, total hardness and trace metals like cupper, iron, Manganese were analysed. Standard methods were followed for the investigation of physicochemical parameter the trace metal were analysed in atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results were compared with standard arranged by WHO and ICMR. It was found that the water sample collected from various places was found contaminated by some parameter. All sampling of places showed physicochemical parameter above the water quality standards and the quality of water are very bad at some places and it is unfit for drinking purpose. Because of lack of water quality, different diseases frequently affect local people. Hence, suitable water quality management is essential to avoid contamination..
