Water quality is becoming a global problem in developed and underdeveloped countries. Human activities directly or indirectly affect quality of water and pollute the water; the demand for fresh water is increasing faster. Therefore, in the present investigation attempt has been made to asses chemical parameters of Valwan dam water. Obtained values were compared with two standards of WHO and BIS. Parameters such as pH, Alkalinity, TDS, Total Hardness, CO2, dissolved oxygen, phosphate were found with permissible limits of BIS and WHO which indicates this water body is suitable for drinking purpose.
