Water is one of the most important of all natural resources known on the earth. The safety of drinking water is important for the health. The safety of drinking water is affected by various contaminants which included chemical and microbiological. The Physico-Chemical analysis of drinking water quality of Tiptur town were studied by taking parameter like Temperature, PH , Total dissolved solids, Salinity, Electrical Conductance, Total alkalinity, Total hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sulphate and Iron. The work was carried out during the period of one year from October 2014 to September 2015 in order to assess water quality. The results were compared with standards prescribed by BIS standard. The study revealed that parameters approach maximum limits of Standards.
