Groundwater quality in Noida and Ghaziabad has been decreasing in recent years as a result of industrial operations and pollution. The primary goal of the present work is to investigate the groundwater quality indicators in the various key locations of Noida and Ghaziabad. Different physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater in these locations were investigated in order to quantify the influence of these parameters on the environment in general and human health in particular. pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), Alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total hardness, carbonates, bicarbonates, turbidity and chlorides were measured. pH, TDS, alkalinity, hardness, and chloride content were found to be 7.35-9.05, 0-30 mg/l, 140-975 mg/l, 170-335 mg/l, and 39.90-939.70 mg/l respectively. The acquired results were compared to the permitted limits set by the Indian water quality standard IS:10500-2012 and recommendations were made to improve the water quality of the study region in order to make the groundwater suitable for consumption.
