Water in its natural form contains number of salts, alkalies, microbes and particulate pollutants.
Due to industrialization and other anthropogenic activities; the purity of water is critically
threatened. Due to the increasing relevance of these, the necessity of water analysis is felt
desirable. Also the contents vary from place to place. Analysis of water in 20 km radius around
Lonand was analyzed for the pH, conductivity, soluble electrolytes like sodium, potassium,
chlorides, calcium. The microbial investigation was done to see the safety of water. The present
investigation provides the data for pH, conductance, hardness, Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++ ions and
microbiology including Klebsiella and E.coli estimation. The experimental observations show
high variation of conductance, slight variation in pH in the local reservoir waters. As water is an
indispensible part of all the processes, its proper analysis and treatment is necessary.
