This paper mainly focusing on to assess the water quality index (WQI) of ground water and pond water of
sirsakala village of bhilai-3, Chhattisgarh, India. In the present study nine water samples of Bhilai-3, were collected from
the different locations of sirsakala village during Oct.2012–Sept. 2013 and fifteen water quality parameters have been
considered such as pH, EC, TDS, turbidity, hardness, Fluoride, calcium, magnesium, chloride, DO, BOD, sulphate,
alkalinity, nitrate, and COD were studied and compared with the standard values prescribed by ICMR and BIS. The water
