The ground water quality of Bhagwanpur Industrial Area of Haridwar district of Hilly state Uttarakhand in India has been studied. Under the study, the ground water samples were collected as per Bureau of Indian Standard from the selected locations of the area with the identification of their longitude and latitude. The GIS locations of the sampling sites have been shown in GIS map. Further, the samples were analyzed as per guidelines of BIS for 12 drinking water quality parameters like Colour, Temperature, pH, Total Hardness, Alkalinity, Chloride, TDS, Sulfate, Nitrate, Fluoride, Arsenic and Iron in analytical laboratory within the standard time limit of analysis. The results of the study have been explained in the paper. The Arsenic and Iron values in the ground water samples in some places have been found more than BIS standard limits. The probable reasons of the problem with the hydrogeology of Bhagwanpur area have also been described in the paper.
