10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 6 Issue 1 2015 (January - March) The analysis of ground water samples from Rahuri City was carried out for their trace metal contamination. Bore well water from specific areas was collected and analysed to test the contamination by heavy metals like Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn. The results were compared with the standard values reported by WHO and ISI. The present study reveals that the water quality in some areas is so bad that it is not suitable for the drinking purpose, as the level of contamination is quite above the standard one.
