Abstract: Ground water quality was assessed during 2018-19 (pre and post-monsoon) in three different mandals namely Karlapalem, Nizampatnam and Repalle of Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. For estimating status of water quality of mandals under study, the parameters studied were pH, electrical conductivity, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, sulphates, RSC, SAR, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand. The results obtained were compared with water quality standards viz., Indian Standard of drinking water and WHO drinking water standards which indicated that ground water in some samples were unsuitable for domestic purpose. The present investigation revealed that some ground water samples were contaminated due to aquaculture activities as indicated by presence of very high dissolved salts, high biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand in the vicinity of the aqua ponds and low in check area.
