A systematic study has been carried out to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater in Agra city. Six groundwater samples were collected from various locations during February 2018 to March 2018 and analysed for pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, fluoride and chloride following the standard methods and procedures. Present work revealed that groundwater is comparatively very hard and slightly alkaline. Fluoride contents vary from place to place. The sampling sites showed that the physico-chemical parameters were not within the water quality standard and was not found fit for drinking.
